Summary0001276: Add "..." to menu items that open a dialog

For example : windows -> "Options editor" => "Options editor..."
"About" => "About..."
file -> "Open" => "Open..."

etc...

This is the practice as stated in the Apple HIG book.

Actually, the ... is only needed if a window opens that requires further action. Commands that just toggle the display of a window do not the the ellipsis.

That's right, but for such menu items (for example for mixer toggle) it would be nice to display a check mark to indicate whether the corresponding window is open or not.

They're supposed to display checkmarks already. I'll check that out.

I found that every item in the "window" submenu displays a check mark, excepted:
- about... (checkmark probably not useful)
- mixer (I think this one should have a check mark)
- editor (ok without a checkmark because it cannot be undisplayed)
So just add a checkmark on mixer?
