I thought about reserving a few entries and hiding them. Probably still
not a bad idea. I don't know in advance how many entries I might need.
But there's a practical limit. I wouldn't want the menu to get overly
large anyway. I get a list of all the physical dvd devices connected to
the system using GtkVolumeMonitor and add them to the file menu for
quick access. The application is a video transcoder called HandBrake.
