The settings above made my foldout menu fold out on mouse click, but it
is still not expanded directly when the page is displayed nor on mouse
over at least as a desired RO effect. But the main problem was the CSS
styled content. After I had changed the htmlpage to dynamic table layout
instead of CSS layout the menu was no longer hidden between graphical
layers in the background (s.b). There seems to be an incompatibility
between GMENU_FOLDOUT and CSS styled content even in TYPO3 Version 4.0 I
tried before. This is certainly a bug to be removed similar to the bug
fix extension 'admin panel wrap' for the admin panel and should be
enabled as a standard part of the TYPO3 installation just from the
beginning!

But there's still the question, how to make GMENU_FOLDOUT folding out at
initial display of the page instead of only on mouse click and not eben
on mouse over?!
None of the settings stayFolded for GMENU_FOLDOUT resp. expAll, collapse
for the GMENU of the 2nd layer makes the menu foldout initially without
user action. Anyone any idea?
