LC8 Geometry Manager

It won't be the only submenu for long - this pull request (
https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/pull/564) has now been merged so
you will be able to switch to text instead of icons in dp 8.

Can you submit enhancement requests for making the default large and adding
a size larger please? That way I won't forget about it :-)

I don't remember having issues with the popping out of the menu before
(even when submenu picks weren't being sent). Can you submit a bug report
so that we have all the distro / architecture details please?
