Bug Description
With (the absolutely awesome) locally-integrated menus enabled, if you open the VirtualBox the menus initially work as expected, ie they appear in VirtualBox's titlebar when you hover the mouse over it.
But if you open a popup window by clicking on New or Settings and then close it, it the menus no longer appear when you hover over the titlebar.
One workaround is that the menus start working again if you focus on another application's window and then click on VirtualBox again so it regains focus, so it's as if the popup window has retained the focus for LIM even once it is closed.
Also worth noting is that if you open a VirtualBox popup window and focus on another application without closing the VirtualBox popup window, when you go back to the popup window and close it, the menus work as expected.
I tried reproducing this using the popup windows in Synaptic, gnome-disks, and gnome-terminal, but they all work fine.
I'm running virtualbox-4.3 4.3.8-92456~

This is also quite repeatable in Transmission. When I first show it using the indicator menu, there are no menus displayed. In this instance, the only way I can find to get the menus to work is to maximize Transmission and then un-maximize it - the menus then appear, at least until I open a pop-up window (eg via Edit / Preferences).
