AFAIK, that is not responsibility of Inventor. It is your window manager who
decides if menus go to the main planes or to overlays (to avoid screen
redraws).
In SGI boxes, the 4Dwm windown manager has a resource that says if this is
done or not:
4Dwm*SG_visualType: overlay
Look for something similar in your wm (mwm or dtwm, as you say it is a
Solaris box).
