There are three bugs with options menus when running on GB or below, which are the following:

* `findItem` can't be used directly to find items from submenus on 2.3. (Trying to find an item returns null). On 3.x and ICS it works as expected.
* `setEnabled` (and `setVisible`) do nothing to items in submenus on 2.3. On 3.x and ICS everything works as expected.
* The menu items sometimes completely vanish from the action bar on 2.3 when using a view pager and fragments. Sliding the view pager to the next slide fixes it. [I found this discussion](https://groups.google.com/group/actionbarsherlock/browse_thread/thread/68a1fa9a9ff4b3d) which seems to be related. I'm not sure if this always happens in the demo, but it should occur when starting it.

I have a demo [here](https://github.com/veeti/ABSMenuProblems) which is based on the demo I made for #90.
