Bug Description

Currently I am seeing three categories in the sidebar of shotwell, initially 'Photos' is selected. when I click on 'Events' category and come back to the menubar I see that menu items have changed but now If I click back on the 'Photos' category I wont get the same menubar it will remain the same as it was on events *but* if I click on a third category 'Trash' the menubar will change to trash related menus but clicking back on the first two categories won't switch to their menus.
Its like 'there is no going back'.

OK, this so far appears to be a problem in appmenu-gtk, because it only re-examines the menubar when it sees new items inserted. So it correctly notices the first time any of these menus is created. But when just switching between menus that have already been created, it doesn't notice.

Probable fix is to make it watch when menubars are reparented.
