This was fixed by checking the system menu bar every time an item is inserted or removed and removing all menu items that are not owned by JavaFX. This check is done on every insert and remove as JavaFX does not have a clear method inside the MenuBarDelegate class that could be called every time the window gets the focus.

1. decide which toolkit (swing or fx) controls the system menu (let's call it the system menu manager)
2. install window/stage focus listeners on each window/stage, informing the system menu manager (in the right thread) which menus to display
