Looking at the results I think we're fooling ourselves,
optimizing for the most unlikely case, so to speak:
the -combination- of a shortcut -and- a submenu indicator.

I don't think it looks good. We're forcing two separate columns in -
lots- of menus, where the simple items using either a shortcut -or- a
submenu indicator would look much better aligned vertically, roughly
the way they are in BeOS:

(Not exactly pixel perfect. I used drag&drop in ShowImage.)
I suggest that this layout behavior is kept:

And that this behavior is changed to single column:

In short, no space* on the right hand side unless there's a
Command shortcut -combined- with a submenu indicator,
in which case all submenu indicators are pushed to the
right side border. Like this:
http://www.kirilla.com/tmp/new_menuitem_layout/keep/screen06.png
else, they are aligned, like this:

* The alignment is what I'm after, not necessarily the removal of
space.
