Can someone give me an example of a famous application under linux wich uses two different menubars in two different windows? Nothing comes to my mind.

Not just in linux, any "more than one menubar" app anywhere, on any O/S?
I can't think of any either, but then I use MacOS more than Linux or Windows. Does that mean that it would be OK for a toolkit to support just one menubar per application on non-MacOS platforms? All allegedly cross-platform toolkits I know treat a menubar as a property of a window or even as an ordinary widget that you can place inside a window, which causes several problems for the Mac OS implementations of those toolkits. A related problem with Mac OS is that when you close the last window of an application, the application doesn't terminate, it's menu bar is still there. You can still open a new document from the menu. When you click on the icon of an open application that doesn't have any windows, a new empty document window should be created. I know of no cross-platform toolkit that supports this behaviour. Cheers, Wolfgang
