Menu woes

I suspect the easiest way to "fix" the menu issue and maintain some of 
the current flexibility would be:

1. Keep the system as it is, for the most part.
2. When using a group as the Mac menu bar, do not scroll the stack.
3. When using a group as a menubar in the window, scroll and enlarge 
the stack.  Now the rect of the card (for ex.) would have a negative 
minimum vertical coordinate, since the menus would stop before reaching 
zero.

Of course, this would break backward compatibility somewhat, but not 
nearly so much as some of the other proposals, and yet this would fix 
some of the other problems which have been mentioned here...
