it is a brute force approach, but one that would at least not show
incorrectly enabled menus, so it is better than leaving the all on and
dying in recursive madness. 

But at least in an MDI situation, we would know which frame is
responsible for the 'app' level commands, so there we perhaps could find
a situation that eg at least leaves things like the Open.. command etc
active.

thanks,
