  It's been too long since I did native Mac GUI app development from scratch, so I'll take your word for this =)

  Qt4 apps used to create a temporary NIB file in $TMPDIR and load that. I cannot recall having seen something similar in Qt5 and cannot find any evidence of it in the code. But just as with Info.plists there might be a way to create the information normally read from a nib/xib file purely in memory.

  This is not something that should be implemented in individual applications. I was planning to ask on the Qt ML about implementing such a feature. If Qt doesn't have anything suitable for tracking window creation a logical place would be KWindowSystem (which already has some code for tracking window creation), and maybe the management of the Windows menu could be implemented in a platform integration plugin.
  
  I do see there's a Qt systemMenu() equivalent for QMdiSubWindows.

  Interesting. I'm pretty certain that entries in the Windows menu are ordered chronologically, at least in those applications where they get a shortcut. (I've never checked if that's always the case.).
