More appmenu progress

[Jorge O. Castro]

Hi everyone,

Chris and I are in Dallas, TX this week for our platform sprint, which
means he's made a bunch of progress on the appmenu support:

He's also got it working in Tbird 3.3alpha and is looking at getting
it working with 3.1.

Looks like we're off to a good start for the year!

This is basically working in Tbird 3.1 now [1]. The only issue I'm
having is that it crashes with Lightning installed. One of it's menus
trigger a bug which results in an infinite loop and Tbird using up the
whole stack. I haven't been very successful with debugging it yet, so
I'd welcome any help with that :-)

There are still no icons in the menus yet, but I plan to work on that
next week.

I also need to do something with the spinner on the menu toolbar (I've
just removed it from my profile for now). We have a design spec for the
menubars which suggests moving the spinner to the end of the topmost
visible toolbar. Does that seem like a reasonable thing to do? If so, I
just need to get around to implementing it.

Regards
Chris

So one thing about the spinner is that we also show it on the tab, so
I wonder if it would actually be ok to get rid of it alltogether from
the menubar.
Need to double check that we're not using it for something else as
well.
