monav moves the mouse pointer which is irritating

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. click the red circle on the left

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A menu appears but mouse cursor is not moved

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

A menu appears and monav moves the mouse cursor. This violates e.g. gnome human 
interface guidelines:

"Do not warp the mouse pointer, or restrict mouse movement to part of the 
screen. This can interfere with assistive technologies, and is usually 
confusing even for users who do not rely on assistive technologies."

I'm not sure about that. On large screen there is a huge distance to cover 
between the button and the menu.

However, it might be better to move the menu closer the the originating button 
click, similar to a popup menu,

Moving the menu closer sounds ok to me.

Is it also possible to make the menus larger (even fullscreen)? I have a PDA 
with small screen.

You can adjust the ( menu ) icon size in the options.

You also might want to increase the map magnification factor.

Aha, I didn't understand what "Icon size" meant so I didn't even try it. Thanks!
