OK!  I got this more or less fixed up and working like it used to.  The 
one exception is some items from the editor menu and maybe a few other 
menu items.  I think it's related to some hackery somewhere in the 
existing code that moving around menu items to share the same widgets in 
more than one menu.

I'm hoping someone more familiar with this part of the code can help me 
out here.

You can see the changes here:

There's still a few FIXME's and it needs to be cleaned up, but if you 
don't mind having a look to see if overall this is fixing the issues you 
raised.
