Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

 - Open an application which doesn't support global menus (and so the hud). For best effect, use one that also uses 'alt' to open its own menu.

 - Press alt. Both the hud and the application's menu pop up simultaneously (see screenshot). Thankfully the applications menu takes the focus, not the hud, so you can at least use it.

Desired behaviour:

 - If the currently active application doesn't support global menus (especially if it binds to 'alt' for its own purposes - though not sure if there's any way of detecting that), the hud should be disabled.
