        'left-most' has no real meaning IMO, I think it should be the
'File' menu that gets removed, but we could have a set of strings -
registered with the container that does the work.

        This is not really neccessary - but an optional nicety.

        Yes, simple and easy, just need someone to take the time to hack  
a prototype impl. up.
