I can confirm that a form's main menu can be hidden/unhidden on Win-32 
and gtk2 but not on gtk1. Sorry but I've not got time to start testing 
on Qt- unless somebody really wants me to, in which case I'm going to be 
asking lots of questions about the Qt source and qt4intf.

If anybody's interested I've got a test project that demonstrates this 
(two controls and one line of code), just say where to send it.
