I created this a few months ago and used it since then without problems,
maybe it will be useful for someone here:

pdmenu is a minimal, mouse-only, radial (pie) menu for X11.

It reads menu items from stdin (like dmenu), displays them in
a fullscreen transparent overlay around the current mouse cursor, and
prints the selected item to stdout. Inspired by https://kando.menu/,
implementing only the basic idea.

The first item is shown in the center; remaining items are arranged
clockwise in a circle, starting from the top.

I know literally nothing about X programming and it is really long time
since I did anything in C (except small patches), therefore all the
X stuff was written by AI, so it can be improved a lot for sure;
I welcome any patches/suggestions.
