But if would be more cool if you were able to plug that menu as toolbar.
The floating style is somehow annoying, you don't have your toolbars
floating too, do you? In my eyes toolbars are kind of mouse shortcut for
menus. So a stripped menu is a shortcut too, just the whole menu at
once. Only dynamically produced. Should be treated like toolbar then.
That would only need a little button in the handler for removing.

This of course would need icons for almost every menu item as a pure
text toolbar doesn't look very nice I think. But that is only step 2.

Will that old dream of mine really become true...

PS: Yes, problem is to whom belongs a kwrite submenu to? To the active
kwrite window? To the one it was stripped of? In Gimp it goes to the
active one. Referring to the SDI/MDI problem... no idea...
