AFAICT it DTRT; i.e., when I'm in a mode in which clicking the Help
button opens a menu when the tool bar is attached to the frame, the same
thing happens with the detached tool bar, with both the arrow and the
whole tool bar versions.  This is both with and without my patch; the
only difference is that with my patch, after clicking a Help menu item
focus returns to the frame with both types of detached tool bar, while
without my patch, focus returns only with the arrow tool bar.  IOW, also
in this case the patch appears to be OK.
