I couldn't find this anywhere and this is a total hack, but I only wanted my sub-menus clickable. Seems like something a lot of folks would want.
I updated nice_menus.module to unlink any parent menu item. I wrote a function that just replaces "href" with a random string and then added cursor:pointer to the CSS of that class so it looks right when you hover. If there is a better way I'd love to hear it.

       if ($children) {
	   $output .= '<li id="menu-'. $mlid .'" class="'. $parent_class . $path_class .'">'. unlinkMe(theme('menu_item_link', $menu_item['link']));
          $output .= '<ul>';
          $output .= $children;
          $output .= "</ul>\n";
        } else {
	   $output .= '<li id="menu-'. $mlid .'" class="'. $parent_class . $path_class .'">'. theme('menu_item_link', $menu_item['link']);
	 }
        $output .= "</li>\n";
      }
      else {
        $output .= '<li id="menu-'. $mlid .'" class="'. $path_class .'">'. theme('menu_item_link', $menu_item['link']) .'</li>'."\n";
      }
    }
  }
  return $output;
}


function unlinkMe($str){
	
	$str = str_replace("href", "black", $str);
	return $str;
}

function unlinkMe($str){
$str = preg_replace("/(.*?)<\/a>/si", "\$2", $str);
return $str;
}

But that would mean writing a regular expression :). They frustrate me. I will use your code you don't mind. Thanks.

Please could you explain where to put and how to use it for someone quite new to drupal ?
I copied it into nice_menus.module but nothing happened. I have no futher idea so please explain a little more detailed.
Many thanks.
