You cannot dispose a menu handle if you've stuck it into the menubar!
What would happen when the user tried to select an item from a disposed
menu??

You would crash, that's what.  Its safe to leave this like it is unless
you plan on adding/removing the menu dynamically.  It will be killed by
FB's internal ExitToShell call when you app quits.
