Hi Tobias,

I have two more comments to your code.

Because attachFrame() is automatically called by
loadComponentFromURL(), 
you can remove this line without any problem. Normally
attachFrame() is 
not used by developers. There are some special situations
where one can 
use attachFrame(), e.g. if you dynamically want to use a 
self-implemented layout manager.

Please don't forget to set the property
"Persistent" of the user 
interface element to false (default is always true).
Otherwise your 
changes will be persistent.

// Make changes only transient.
com.sun.star.beans.XPropertySet xPropSet = (XPropertySet)
   UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, myMenuBar);
xPropSet.setPropertyValue("Persistent", new
Boolean(false));
