Build 20020508

The perspective customization dialog should the location of items, including:
- which menu/submenu
- whether it's on the toolbar

Should also consider a description for items.

To address for 2.2 or possibly even 2.1.1.
Comment 6 Nick Edgar CLA 2003-03-17 22:12:16 EST 
Address for 2.2.
Comment 7 Nick Edgar CLA 2003-04-10 16:12:06 EDT 
I looked at this a while back (late in 2.0) and realized that it would be non-
trivial to do.  This dialog uses a lighter weight action set registry that does 
not have all the info.  We have one action set registry that keeps a picture of 
the available action sets.  When we need full details about an action set, we 
read it in a separate pass.  For this dialog, you not only need full details 
about the action set, but would need to look up referenced menu and toolbar ids 
to resolve the menubarPath and toolbarPath, and present them in the UI in human 
readable form.

Look into moving removeAccel and findMenu code to MenuManager.
Comment 9 Lynne Kues CLA 2003-05-16 19:04:25 EDT 
Opened [Bug 37796] for problems I was having with the 
MenuManager.findMenuUsingPath method.
