Xerox had the first "fixed drop-down menu". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_graphical_user_i...

Apple's Jef Raskin did come up with drag-and-drop though so that's pretty much the one original thing they did.

The Star didn't have overlapping windows either I believe (Atkinson believed it did, so he implemented it). I think the clipboard was invented for Lisa as well.
