prevent widget shortcut conflicts with menu proxies

set some menu bar contexts to Widget, preventing conflict.

Essentially, these events will never be called by shortcut, as the events
for which they are a proxy are already bound to the shortcut, and get it instead.

This is a bit ugly, because the menu shortcuts aren't really active - they depend
on the widget shortcuts being the same.
