[cp-patches] FYI: Old style event fixes, part 2

[Roman Kennke]

This is the second part for the old (1.0) style AWT event handling. The
problem that is fixed here is that events that are targetted at menu
components (like ActionEvents) must be forwarded along the parent chain
and finally must end up in the frame that holds the menu bar (I have an
application here that expects exactly this). Unfortunatly, the MenuBar
knows nothing about its parent frame (MenuBars are not part of the
normal component hierarchy, also they are not derived from Component).
MenuBar.getParent() returns null. So I had to add a reference to the
parent frame to MenuBar and forward the event this way.

        a parent can handle the event.
