I don't like it.
I have a lot of menus pinned and of course
I (like to) move windows over those menus.
This does not work any more; the pinned
menus are now always on top.

Otherwise it's a cool idea, perhaps copying this flag
from the active window to the menu or hover help morph
may help.
I will try to fix this tomorrow.
