Comment:

 I'm taking this over and re-opening it, as I think it is silly for our
 menu code to create triggers which cannot be seen.

 They are indeed there all the time, they are just only drawn when the
 "Always Show Triggers" option is set to true, but it defaults to off. With
 the deletion of the Menu prefs there is no way to set it now (beyond
 writing a program to call set_menu_info().)

 But I think what Humdinger mentioned in this ticket is completely valid
 and had nothing to do with the Menu prefs, so Axel closed it incorrectly
 IMO.

 So I'd propose showing triggers when a menu is opened with the menu
 keyboard shortcut Alt-Esc, as described in this ticket.

 Whether we also want to re-show some of the menu options in the
 Appearances preflet is another issue.
