The MacOs menubar is still missing and I plan to to that again.

But floatable, hmmmm...

When I made it floatable I was so proud of myself because it wasn´t easy thing
to do that at that time (having in mind Qt and my skills). But it turned out
that almost noone uses it. So, with time, I saw it as nice but useless feature.
Which was also difficult to maintain. 

Anyway I´ll see if I can do something about it. In any case it will still
inherit QMenuBar.

What´s that RISC OS behavior?
