Texted separators do not exist in menu items in the OS X "global" menubar (they become regular separators), and Qt will not provide a platform-specific implementation. Loss of the section title text is maybe not always an issue, but I think it is in the system tray menu. I therefore propose to emulate `QMenu::addSection` by replacing the texted separator with an inactive (disabled) menu item that shows the text, followed by a standard separator. Menus in the notification area are much less subject to interface guidelines, so the presence of an item icon is acceptable and IMO useful for the `titleAction`.

Adding a few qDebug statements shows that the `attentionIcon` is empty.
