The key is placeholders. Rather than merging into the Game menu, you 
should merge into a placeholder in the Game menu at the right location. 
The empty placeholder is defined in the main program's UI definition file,
 and then the same placeholder is redefined in the component, only now it 
contains the New Game menu item.
