Public bug reported:

>From the GNOME HIG :

===

The Windows menu contains commands that apply to all of the
application's open windows. Only use a Windows menu in multiple document
interface (MDI) applications.

You may also label this menu Documents, Buffers, or similar according to
the type of document handled by your application.

==

Given those guidelines, the "Move to New Window" option should be
removed from the "Documents" menu, since it only applies to the active
document. It is properly accessible by right-clicking a tab.
