Although new-style Maemo 5 menus with sub-menus are discouraged, I don't
think they should be forbidden. The current C API makes it very
difficult to create them because HildonAppMenu is just a grid container,
not a menu API. But I see no reason for Qt to make the same mistake.

Of course they would not be displayed as a tree-like menu.

You are using a gmail email address. Do you actually work for Nokia
and/or Qt?
