Comment (by axeld):

 I get all ticket mails, so there is no need to add me to the CC list.

 Anyway, I'm not really a fan of such menu items, and I'm not sure the one
 in Tracker is really that helpful as it's not that visible in comparison.
 I think I would prefer an alert that pops up in either case that allows
 you to restart the problematic application. That logic could be either put
 in both apps, or in a 3rd app, although I don't see a good candidate
 besides a general "supervisor". That latter solution might even be
 preferrable, as it allows you to disable the functionality in case you are
 a developer working on those applications.

 Having said that, I do not understand the changes you made in
 `BContainerWindow::RepopulateMenus()` -- can the menu bar be `NULL` ever?
