hideDelay How long (in milliseconds) you have to hold the mouse button down for it to be hidden automatically when you release it. If you hold shorter, it will stay up when you release.
middle Position menus centered vertically instead of aligned to the top
.
submenuShowDelay and submenuHideDelay affect how submenus pop up when moving across them
. When moving away from a submenu it is closed after submenuHideDelay, and when moving into one, it is opened after submenuShowDelay. When moving from one submenu to another, the hide delay is only used if it is lower than the show delay (e.g. by default it is not used). The old submenu is closed after HideDelay milliseconds, and after ShowDelay milliseconds (after moving) the new one is shown (and the old one is hidden even if HideDelay has not expired yet).
applicationIcons Whether to show window icons in the Desktop and Windows menus
(client-list-menu and client-list-combined-menu).
manageDesktops Whether to show the Add new desktop and Remove last desktop entries in the Desktop and Windows menus
.
file Specify files to load menu specifications from
. Can be given more than once, although care should be taken to avoid id clashes. Files are searched for in the user directory first and then in the system directory.
