No good- I could live with the look, but if I'm editing files with
long names, the fact the the menu list is now twice as wide as before
means that the menu is now wider than the screen, so that I can't see
the right edge of the list. Of course there are no horizontal
scroll-bars, just as there are no vertical ones...
