I went looking for confirmation that real applications care about this bug,
and the first example I found is:
  Install autohotkey from http://autohotkey.com
  Create the text file  foo.ahk containing the line
    WinMenuSelectItem, Untitled - Notepad, , File, Open
  wine notepad &
  wine autohotkey.exe foo.ahk
This should invoke the File / Open dialog box in the notepad window, but doesn't
because although autohotkey finds the notepad window ok, it manipulates
local menus instead of notepad's menus.

I then tried to verify that Tommy's patches fixed this; 
first I collected Tommy's patches here
http://kegel.com/wine/menu/
and tried applying them, but they're slightly out of date.
I rediffed the first three, but ran out of typing time.  Perhaps
someone else can rediff the rest...
