Why not swap in the first menu in a window's widget tree when the  
window is brought to the front / given focus?  (With special cases to  
ignore tool windows, etc.)

This would prevent developers having to maintain two separate  
versions of the menu code for an app, which i can see as only a good  
thing.  Apps would work out of the box, and the right menu for the  
current window would always be there for the user.
