I will ask him about this.

Attached is a small test case, that demonstrates the window menu using
either Wx::DocMDIParent or Wx::MDIParent (by varying a constant).
The list of currently open windows works when it's run with wxPerl
0.24, but doesn't work with wxPerl 0.26 in both cases.

Based on this there appears to be a bug (or at least changed
behaviour) in wxPerl 0.26 concerning the Window menu.  I will ask
Simon and see if he has any ideas.
