shared menus

[Matthew Woehlke]

I turned off shared menu for TAI container; shared menu (for TAI) has 
two effects:
- menu might be above tab strip instead of below
- menus can't appear in child windows (e.g. if child is a container)

The second I think is undesirable as default. As for the first, I would 
go so far as to recommend that TAI containers should query if the child 
has a menu, and if so, display it "as if shared", i.e. so the menu is 
drawn in the same place regardless.

This brings up an important question, however; when using shared menu, 
what do you do if the app /has/ no menu? I'm not sure hiding it is good 
because then the layout potentially changes when you switch windows. 
Should we have some sort of "empty menu" that would be used if the child 
doesn't provide a menu?

Also... I'm debating turning on shared menus by default for /GAI/. What 
do you think? (For smaller containers I think it would be good, but not 
necessarily so much for maximized or root GAI. Though we do have the 
argument that currently there is no shared menus at all...)
