1. You say "anymore", so I wonder what that refers to. Is this a
change that was made in GTK+ since we started using it in Emacs? Do
you have a rough idea of when that change was made?
2. Is it possible for Emacs to work with that new method?
3. Surely Emacs is not the only system that handles user-defined
menus. How do the others work with GTK or with GNOME?

This is amazing. Applications are not supposed to support dynamic
menus at all???
Is it possible for an application to submit a new XML file
to specify modified menus?
