Problems with this. Second time through it breaks. If I rename the menu
label I can't find it again with your getMenuId call. If you try to find
that menuitem again it's gone

> >> id = bg.menuBar.getMenuId('menuFileExit')
> >> id
-1

I wrote work-around code to get the menuid once at startup and then I
re-use it but shouldn't this getMenuID call work after the label is
changed?
