I do like the idea of this feature. I would just prefer that its implementation in E18 add a menu icon next to the application icon in the title bar to not clutter my screen with menu. I know this is not related to your patch. > I've decided to ask for some feedback whenever we want this, if one > doesn't have the "external dbus menu" support (no e18 gadget or other > wm supporting) it will show a menu bar that is currently unthemed -- > will show a standard bg and some buttons that drops the menu.

That's sound awful. Wasn't this API added during 1.8 cycle ?
