Bug Description

Binary package hint: appmenu-qt

To reproduce this, open bzr-explorer from the main menu (not pointing to a specific repository), and from its welcome screen choose a repository. There are certain menu items that should be enabled at this point, but with Unity's global menu they are not. This is particularly evident under the Bazaar menu :)

If bzr-explorer is started aiming directly at a repository (bzr explore in a repository), the menu items are enabled correctly. However, similarly, they are not disabled after closing the repository and returning to the welcome screen (even though they should be).

I encountered this same issue with my own very simple Qt application. I have a MainWindow with a menu, and I disable / enable menu items at runtime using stuff like this->actionPrint->setEnabled(false) and this->actionPrint->setEnabled(true).
In the main window's constructor, those menu items are immediately disabled. While my application is enabling them correctly, the global menu is not reflecting it.
