Because the menu bar is not a top-level item in your XRC file.  It is a 
child of the mainFrame so it is created and associated with the frame 
when the frame is loaded.  The Load* methods can only "see" items that 
are at the top-level in the resource, in other words their parent node 
is <resource>
