I'm working on a patch to do this.  It adds a "_Window" top level menu 
and the components are dynamically loaded into it (using icons and 
labels).  This is similar to "Places" in Nautilus and "Window" in 
Mozilla suite.

But how should add mnemonics and accelerators for these items?  The 
shell only knows what is in the component registry.

Add something like label_with_mnemonic to the component info structure?

Is it even necessary to add accelerators?

Thanks,
Jon
