I think technically the whole thing is doable, without utter hacks.

We just need to hook into the view-switching:
- Deactivate current view, unmerge GUI
- Store QSet<QAction*> of all actions in the main-menu
- Add other view, merge the GUI
- Build something like QMultiMap<QStringList, QAction*> of all actions that 
were _added_, and the place where they were added, eg. <"Edit" : "Undo">.
And then restructure the actions in whatever way we like, for example moving 
everything to one "Editor" submenu, or maybe leaving the "Edit" menu in-place 
or moving the rest into a submenu. Although if we do that, I we should also 
move a part of the "Edit" menu into an "Edit -> Advanced" sub-menu.

Regarding your other mail: Yes I think we should finish the GUI really soon 
within a month or so, so we will have 2 months left for pure bug-fixing.
