In GTK builds it is possible to detach the toolbar, menu or submenu
from the frame.  After iconifying the frame, the floating menu is
still shown.

I see this is not possible on OS X.  But then I wonder why do you make
more menu items disabled for non-visible frames in your patch, if on
OS X, where the menu bar always applies to the selected frame, there is
no way to have a menu with disabled items?
