1. Open a workbench window containing only the Java perspective (and no others)
2. Detach the problems view (drag it out of the workbench window)
3. Close the problems view
4. Open the problems view
5. Click on the view menu for the problems view
6. Reattach the problems view (drag it back into the workbench window)
7. Click on the view menu for the problems view

Notice that the view menu no longer opens.

Fixed by maintaining a Shell pool for detached windows. Basically, any Shell
used for a detached window will never be disposed until the workbench window
goes away.
