+\wxheading{Allocation strategy}
+
+All menus except the popup ones must be created on the heap. All menus
+attached to a menubar or to another menu will be deleted by their parent when
+it is deleted. As the frame menubar is deleted by the frame itself, it means
+that normally all menus used are deleted automatically.
