Bug Description

[IMPACT]

LibreOffice is the first application that uses the HUD-awareness protocol (it doesn't update all it's menu items until the HUD is opened). Due to a couple of copy/paste bugs in indicator-appmenu, the HUD-awareness protocol doesn't work for exported window menu bars (only application menus).

This means that menu items which weren't available (or disabled) when LibreOffice started don't show up in the HUD.

[Test Case]

A good example is Table > Merge Cells, which is only enabled when there's a selection with multiple table cells. It does not show up in the HUD.

[Regression Potential]

None, the patch is trivial.

I noticed I can't find Bold or Italic in the HUD. Is this the same problem?
