I don't have a link, but somewhere on the blogs or in a bug report I
read a comment (I think by Mark himself), that actually the idea is for
the menu to become gradually more visible when the mouse approaches it -
like Notif-OSD bubbles in reverse. Apparently there are currently
problems with X not playing nice. I assume that this is still intended
to be implemented in the future.
