Sorry, but the shortcut is visible in the menu. If you remove the menu
by the menu, you should be aware that you cannot reenable it by menu
since it won't be there anymore. That's what the shortcut is for.

The rationale is: I hate the menu and don't want to see it. I need a way
to disable it. But I know some users will need the menu so the
compromise is to make the menu optional but enabled by default.

I might add a context menu or something to make it more easy to
re-enable the menu, but that has currently a very low priority on my
list (patches are welcome).

I've seen a few, the most important one I use everyday is konsole, where
I've disabled the menu too since it's just a waste of space.
