It's possible to write a javascript to fix that, but it's big, bulky,
and will reload the page every time you resize the page. It works by
finding the XY coordinates of the element (say, a link) you want the
mouseover to appear next to, and using that as the XY coordinates for
the layer. And if JS's turned off, well, you wouldn't get the mouseovers
anyways.
