pop-up menu interaction.

Windows 95 and Windows NT up to version 4.0 do not support help text
for menus.  Help text is only available in later versions of Windows.

There are problems with display if mouse-tracking is enabled and the
mouse is moved off a frame, over another frame then back over the first
frame.  A workaround is to click the left mouse button inside the frame
after moving back into it.

When "ClearType" method is selected as the "method to smooth edges of
screen fonts" (in Display Properties, Appearance tab, under
"Effects"), there are various problems related to display of
characters: 2-pixel trace is left behind when moving overlays, bold
fonts can be hard to read, small portions of some characters could
appear chopped, etc.  This happens because, under ClearType,
characters are drawn outside their advertised bounding box.  Emacs 21
disabled the use of ClearType, whereas Emacs 22 allows it and has some
code to enlarge the width of the bounding box.  Apparently, this
display feature needs more changes to get it 100% right.  A workaround
is to disable ClearType.
