I'm not sure what you mean here.  What exactly should I do and
what will happen ?

That's pretty much unavoidable: those menus are X windows but aren't
managed by your window manager.  The only way to prevent this behavior
seems to be to grab the server, which is *bad* (I'm sure you know what
I mean if you've already experienced Netscape locking up your whole
screen).
