I played around with Bonobo a bit and I must say it's not at all
difficult, rather trivial even.  You can do it with one (separated) XML
file which contains the argued menu items, and one or two function calls
that merge them in the window menus.

You can call 'bonobo_ui_util_set_ui' function several times, that makes
things quite easy for you.
