[7u4] Review request for 7154480: [macosx] Not all popup menu items are visible

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Leonid,

The code changes look good to me. I'm approving the fix given the 
emergency of the issue.

However, I think that a more elegant solution for this bug would be to 
-setLevel: for always-on-top Java windows of the type POPUP to a value 
that pushes the windows above the dock. This way we wouldn't need an 
overridable method in the SunToolkit class. Could you file a CR to 
investigate this possibility in a future release please?

best regards,
Anthony
