I've had a problem getting the menueditor to work with adding an
external menu.  IIRC, opening up the xml file, I found that it was
missing a closing </menu> tag.  Manually putting it in works fine.

I've been meaning to check bugzilla on this and report a bug if
nothing was there.   (I just checked and didn't see anything.)  Maybe
you could confirm that that works for you before I report anything?

Cheers,
Andrew
