Sounds good.  Installed (except I removed point-pixel-position).

Maybe a better direction is to make popup-menu (and x-popup-menu, ...)
accept posn arguments, so you can just use things like (event-end
<event>) or (posn-at-point) to specify where to display it.  The
docstring of popup-menu seems to indicate that an `event' can be used,
but at least in my tests it doesn't seem to work.

Could you look at making a patch to do that (i.e. accept a posn,
or maybe an event)?
