Now the mode is onclick - it can be switched to hover
but as I have written hover mode needs more vertical space
to work ok for admins.


Look also left offset calculations. If you click 'File',
the leftmost sub-module has left offset. Offset depends on situation.
Calculated value might be negative. It is used, if the value
is equal or greater than 2.

Well that makes also possible to use suckerfish hover menus because
usability reasons they need more horizontal space I have used (in fact 
they need double the space to be usable.
With suckerfish menus on top the needed vertical space is about 60 pixel
in order to work also for admin users.
