Bug Description

appmenu-qt does not track whether the menubar renderer is running.

This can cause several problems:
- When unity-2d-panel is restarted, menubars of Qt applications are not exposed anymore.

- When the Plasma widget is added to the panel, menubars of Qt applications which were already running are not exposed.

- At KDE login time, if applications from the previous session are restored before the Plasma widget, their menubars are not exposed.

- When the Plasma widget is removed from the panel, Qt applications stay menubar-less.

This bug is fixed in the upcoming version 0.2.2 of appmenu-qt, but this version is based on the latest menubar Qt patch. I mark the bug as affecting Qt for this reason.

Shipping the latest patch is a good idea anyway as it is closer to what will be in Qt 4.8, reducing our differences with upstream.

For convenience, I am going to include the Qt patch in release 0.2.2 of appmenu-qt.
