This will require "proper" code with a var to recall read-only status
at close/exit in order to avoid the warning. I'll put it on the ToDo.

Write a function to remove it:

	function! Remove_evil_open_menu()
		aunmenu &File.&Open\.\.\.
		aunmenu &File.&Open\ (selection)
		aunmenu ToolBar.open
	endfunction

and then make sure it gets called by autocommand for two events:

    autocmd VimEnter,BufEnter * call Remove_evil_open_menu()
