here is what I did:

1. Created 2 menus (Hide Bla and Show Bla) - no key equivalents, only
Show bla has an extra key modifier. [As expected, when the app runs,
only Hide Bla is visible and enabled]
2. Added a toggleBlaShow: to the first responder, and set it as an
action to both menu items.
3. Implemented toggleBlaShow somewhere in the responder chain (probably
here I must add some magic - the question is what).

Nothing happens if I select the Show Bla with mouse, but exactly the
same works if I connect the menus to the NSWindow's toggleToolbarShow:

Assigning key-equivalents has no effect too.

feeling extremely stupid and puzzled... and google is still not helpful
- even after having a good sleep.
