'push' means you have to click on the menubar to open a menu, 'pull' is  
the standard-behaviour. It works here on aranym.

'push': You click on the menubar, menu opens, move mouse over the menu and  
click again on the item to select.
'pull' Same without the first click.

I think this is ok, and can not think of another solution.

'leave' = 'pull'
