downloaded the sources from kde-look, but this:

ain't there.

However
a) "releaseFocus" should be sufficient (in contrast to "unregisterMenu" and 
complementing "requestFocus")
b) from the snippet it looks a bit as if you tried to release/unregister the 
function parameter WId - this is not gonna work since it's the WId of the just 
activcated window (the one w/o supported menu) - so you'd have to store the 
currently used WId in a variable and release that.

For more information i'd have to see the actual sources, sorry :-(

Cheers,
Thomas

Ps:
i don't use too many Gtk+ apps (mostly gimp & inkscape and they happen to be 
the only apps i'm using max'd as well ;-) but i could actually merge 
globalmenu support upstream.

Pps:
canonical apparently works on a global menu solution as well (shuttleworth's 
creating his personal mac clone anyway...). Iff this will be supported by Gtk+ 
& Qt upstream this here will be superflous in a near future anyway (though I 
object the way both global menu as well as the canonical solution implement 
popups, since they're really nothing i'd post on X11 or dbus, that's client 
private stuff that triggers _real_ actions ...)

Ppps:
Mozilla's toolkit is XUL, OOo uses UNO
