    Adding custom report to a custom sub-menu
    
    If the custom sub-menu does not have an accelerator key defined then
    one is added if possible which changes the action label. This new label
    creates a new full path which is used in the build_menu_hash table to
    reference the created GMenuItem.
    
    When adding the menu entry, the full path used still comprises of the
    original label and hence the GMenuItem can not be found in the
    build_menu_hash table and so gets added as a top level menu entry.
    
    To fix this, a second entry is added to the build_menu_hash table using
    the original menu label so the required GMenuItem can be found.
