We created Qt 4.2 plugins for Mac (Carbon). The problem is that QApplication thinks it's THE application, so it takes over the menubar away from the host application.
I don't remember the details, but we had to change QApplication's source code and tell it not to mess with the menubar. As far as I know Qt doesn't provide a function for doing that otherwise.

So far, I've created a new QApplication in the plugin's initialisation routine (after compiling the 4.5 preview with Cocoa support). Doing only this, Acrobat starts but everything that is normally in it's menu bar is gone, and replaced by only the Apple symbol and an Acrobat menu, that also has less entries than normal. It looks like I need something like qt_mac_set_native_menubar or qt_mac_set_menubar_merge, but at a first try those don't seem to help. Is there anything else I can look at? If not, which of these 2 functions would I need to call, and when (before or after creating the QApplication)? Also, while reading up on this, I noticed here: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/exportedfunctions.html that it has different documentation for the same function name (qt_mac_set_dock_menu) twice (I see the same thing in the 4.4 docs).
