Try (QPopupMenu*)factory()->container("tools",this)   (where this is the KWView)
That's what we use to get hold of RMB-popupmenus defined in an XML-UI file,
I think it also works with menubar-popupmenus.

Konqueror uses another trick, with a self-defined action that connects
to the aboutToShow signal of the menu in plug() (see KonqBidiHistoryAction).
Doesn't look too suited to this case though.
