As you probably noticed by now, the menus have been updated.

Some additional work remains:

For Mac only, the main menu bar still needs to be made visible for all 
windows so that the new (Mac) Window menu can be used for switching 
between windows.

The Plugin menu code needs updating. The list of plugins should be a 
floating block which could start at any position and also allow 
additional unrelated items below. Right now, unrelated items can't 
easily be added either above or below the list. (I tried adding a bottom 
separator for the Python console and it sorted itself to the top next to 
the first separator!)

The new action, menu and toolbar accessors need to be tested with some 
plugins to see if the API is sufficient to actually add menu items to 
arbitrary locations. I will test the WFS and GRASS plugins as mentioned 
  previously in the thread.

Finally, should the toolbars be modified to match the menus or changed 
in some other way? I'm not planning to do anything but I will rearrange 
them if someone make a proposal.
