For the near term (2.28) timeframe we're not planning on changing any
applications (and in general, we've been trying to minimize
application changes for compatibility reasons and for simple
manpower/scope reasons).  But by 2.30 we should have an API for
applications to manipulate the menu; how Open/Close sort out would
need some guidelining by then.
