Chronologically, what's out of place here is the main-window having a

Either way you slice it, it's weird and superfluous - even in multi-
window mode, the document windows have their own copies of the menu bar
right there, and it's only the toolbox that's shared. Which, fair
enough (you can't rely on a Mac-style shared menu bar when almost no
other desktop environments provide that - Amiga is the only one that
springs to mind,) but it still shows a fundamental misunderstanding of
what context menus are *for.*
