Yes, I've read those, but the problem is: if I understood
correctly, the intention is falling back to a minimal
set of menus in those cases, and such minimal set is
supposed to work. For a lot of applications, this is
probably not possible without application-specific
patching.

So my question, more specifically, is: what will happen
when a non-patched application with a non-supported
toolkit is opened? The minimal set will be available,
but with all itens insensitive?
