X applications can't use top menu bar area

Quite a while back, I wrote a little utility called MagicMenu. It auto-hides the top menu bar in Mac OS X when you move the mouse away. It works with virtually all Mac applications. However, with X11, it can hide the top menu bar, but none of the X application can be moved into the top menu bar area when it is hidden.

With any other Mac application, such as Finder, Firefox, etc., you can move their windows into the top menu bar space when the top menu bar is hidden.

I have Mac OS X 10.5.4 installed. Originally, I tried it with X11 delivered with 10.5.4. But since then, I had installed XQuartz 2.3.0. The same problem persists in both versions of X11.

Is this a bug with X11? Or is there an implementation constraint that prevents X11 from ever using the top menu bar space?

MagicMenu is located here, in case you want to test this problem with X11:
