Thanks Omer.

There's nothing new that needs specifying here. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenuBar> already says that it should be the menus for the active window that are shown in the menu bar. It does not say the menus for any other window should be.

In future, dialogs without menus should be able to use the menus of the parent window as the basis for their fallback menus <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenuBar#Version%202>, but the current behavior is not a step towards that, it's just a bug.
