The list of blacklisted applications should be Firefox, Thunderbird, any other XUL applications in Main or Universe, and OpenOffice.org. That is, all applications for which we plan to recognize their toolkit's menus in future but do not yet. Once we do recognize XUL and VCL menus, the blacklist can be retired.

The blacklist should not include Chromium or Chrome, because (a) they currently have no menu bar at all, (b) "File" > "Close" usefully works right now and the "Edit" items could too, and (c) we want them to start using a full set of menus (as they do on Mac OS X), and their developers shouldn't be roadblocked when they try.

For applications that use other toolkits, such as Blender and FontForge, it should be their responsibility to integrate the menus themselves, just as it was for Mozilla and OpenOffice.org developers on the Mac for example.
