Hum, it was a good idea to send a mail here before merging apparently...

The problem is the principle, I don't like having pre-configurated 
menuitems, with a global variable (which is a GraniteApplication that no 
one uses AFAIK). The bazaar explorer was just an example. We can also 
take an office suite with different application but the same binary, or 
something like that.

The problem is that technically, we can't have an AppMenu with different 
About items in the same binary for example. So, it seems that it is 
clearly a limitation, that we could easily avoided if there was a way to 
configure the items. And the global variable is a bad thing, I think 
everyone will agree that ;)

I will make a patch tomorrow to show what I mean, because I think I am 
not very clear ^^
