Replacing a menu item from a component

[John Sullivan <sullivan eazel com>]

I'm trying to replace a disabled menu item with a component-specific
active one. I've discovered that the caller must specify the menu item
index for the new menu item; there isn't any call that automatically
replaces the pre-existing menu item with the same path (though the
pre-existing one is removed). This seems extremely awkward, since in
every practical case I can think of, you'd want the menu item to be in
the same position as the one it replaces. But it's not too bad, because
I can use bonobo_ui_handler_menu_get_pos on the path to find the
existing location (and then add one to that to put the new one in the
same spot).

But here's a nasty: When I later remove the component's merged menu
items, either explicity with bonobo_ui_handler_menu_remove or implicitly
with bonobo_ui_handler_unset_container, the item that had been
temporarily replaced reappears in the wrong place. It reappears one spot
earlier than it had been originally.

This seems like a simple bug in Bonobo that would have been noticed and
fixed already, which makes me think I'm doing something wrong. But maybe
nobody has tried replacing specific menu items before? Maybe there's
some other way to do this that I don't know about?

If anyone has succeeded in replacing an existing menu item with one from
a component, please let me know.

Thanks,

John
