Author Bug#241189: general: some WM packages build system menus that don't fit onscreen

Package: general
Severity: wishlist

AFAICT, most window managers (WM) provide a script, run by update-menus,
that is used to build a hyerarchical system menu

what's (partially) wrong is that some WM do not implement scrollable
or auto-splitting(?) menus, and a number of particularly well populated
submenus do not fit in the screen space, resulting that some menu items
are "out of reach"

in the best world possible, i.e., in debian, developers of update-menus
and packagers of WMs should talk and devise a solution (let's say:
max number of items in a menu, then start a submenu, etc)
