I don't think that it is intended. Sounds like a bug.

This is going to be removed unless you are using gnome-main-menu. I 
believe Rodrigo and/or Scott may have been working on a patch for this.

Same as above. This code only makes if gnome-main-menu is in use. We are 
aware of both these issues (which should be filed against the libslab 
component of the gnome-main-menu product in bugzilla), and are working 
on fixes.
