Replying to [comment:6 bonefish]:
> Generally I don't find it nice when objects play with their parents. I'd
rather give a menu a preferred submenu opening direction attribute. A menu
could then simply set that (to the actual direction) on a submenu it is
about to open.
Indeed playing with parents it's not nice. To tell the truth, though,
BMenus play with parents, childs, and whatever they wants, already. It's
not a reason to make the situation worse, though, and your solution seems
to be nice.

could point in different directions. As a solution the code could choose a
common direction that would work for all submenus.
The arrow, though, is drawn by BMenuItem, so the thing gets more complex.
