Hey, that's pretty neat. I had not seen "metamenus" before, but to me
that is an absolutely perfect example of using the expressive power of
Python to let me do something that can be somewhat tedious, in a very
natural and attractive way. Nice work!

Just want to know about how to get rid of the "&Windows" menu.

I'm having some trouble with menus in AUI.

Just want to know about how to get rid of the “&Windows” menu.
It’s a standard feature of the MDI classes. If you don’t want the
MDI-like behavior then just use the AUI notebook directly instead.
Dang. I want everything else in AUI-MDI. At least I think I do…
In particular, I like the ability to drag tabs to create new panes.
Can I do that with a combination of AUI notebook and
AUI_DockingWindowMgr? Any samples out there showing this combination?
One thing I like about AUI-MDI is the absence of a “content” window. I
want all of my windows to be dockable tabs, and I have no window that
would be appropriate for the “content” window. Is this distinction
related to AUI-MDI or is it just a difference between the demos?
I tried deleting the menu item with menu.Remove(), but that sometimes
crashes the app (C exception) when I remove the Window menu. Reminds
me of my previous problem.
Maybe I can live with the Window menu. Is there a way to internationalizeit? I guess I can hack something myself like walking that menu
tree and substituting the strings, but that’s pretty ugly.

AUINotebook handles the docking internally, no need to try and combine it with a manager.
