Ah, yes, I can see it.  Looks like the menu is unmapped immediately when
it is shown. It's weird, I'm not yet sure what unmaps it...  Now it
looks like hildon-desktop is not unmapping it, so it could be widget
side problem also. I'll try to find out.

BTW. this problem is not related to the transparency: opaque window does
the same.
