Comment (by tillkruess):

 @arleym: We need to consider a few more things to make this work flawless.
 I think it was some Firefox version, which required also the {{{top}}} and
 {{{left}}} CSS property as well as {{{position}}}. There also occurred a
 funny display issue, when the menu was fixed and the browser viewport was
 smaller than the {{{min-width}}} of the {{{<body>}}}. Another issue was
 jQuery's {{{height()}}} and {{{outerHeight()}}} function weren't
 calculating the real height because {{{#collapse-menu}}} had no clear-fix.
 And when the expand button of the menu is clicked, we would want to check
 the height of the menu again, in case it's now too tall.
 [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/floating-admin-menu/ The plugin I
 wrote] fixes all these issues and I'd be delighted to make a patch out of
 it. Maybe we could also implement a CSS transition, so the menu doesn't
 jump from {{{fixed}}} to {{{relative}}}, rather it would slide smoothly.
