No. It has been discussed several times before, though, and may be added
one day.

I don't understand this. What gets disabled?

You do that in your own code somewhere. Maybe after the call to create the
window (create_window1() etc.)

Someone volunteered to do this, but I haven't seen any code.

Create the stable part in Glade, then manipulate the widgets in your
code to add/remove menus. I don't think that would be too difficult.

Yes, that may be useful.
