Am I making any sense? Does anyone have any ideas?

So I've been playing with the menus code lately - hopefully I'll have
something concrete to show soon but in the meantime a problem. We need
to update the function of menu items and their enabled/disabled state
depending on where the focus is (and things like whether there is
selected text). For example when focused on a text box Edit - Copy
should copy the text selected in that box. The problem is I'm not quite
sure how to do this in a sane way. It's pretty easy to connect the
appropriate slots to actions when particular widgets get focus by
implementing the focusInEvent method. The problem is disconnecting
things ar the right time. focusOutEvent is no good because widgets loose
focus when a menu is activated. It might be possible to just have the
focusInEvent disconnect any slots that are already attached but that
seems suboptimal (you might want a situation where subwidgets override
some, but not all, behaviors of their parents).
