Cleaned up some issues:

- While Menu.popUpMenu() takes a DisplayObjectContainer as a parent,
  it will hork unless the parent is really a UIComponent.
  Omit that parameter from our convenience function and allow the parent
  to be set to the application.
- Changed show() with no args to show at the mouse location.
