        This is not the case.

        The thing is that tear off menus work for me; I just changed a few
lines in test-app so you can see it. If you press the 'Press me' button,  
and then undock the Norwegian 'Go' menu, then press merge again, you will
see what I mean.                       
 
        It is likely that you are changing / setting some attributes on   
the submenu node and this is forcing a re-build of both the shell and the
menu item ( this is unfortunate but hard to avoid ). I imagine you have a
problem in some xml file; can you wave a stick at where it is happening   
in Nautilus for me ?

        Regards,
  
                Michael.
