We had a plan to introduce a GtkApplicationMenuButton as an alternative to the gnome-shell application menu in order to display that menu. The way GMenu is constructed is rather extremely generic: each item is just a list of attributes plus (optionally) links to other GMenus. You can imagine quite a lot of ways that this could be used to construct menus like those in the mockups. I expect that the sort of things we see in the mega-menu examples are things that might actually be appropriate for inclusion in the shell application menu as well. Unlike the menubars, I do expect that some 'more interesting' things will eventually want to go on there. I think what needs to happen before we commit to anything is that we have firm design mockups. At that point, we can ask ourselves "okay. what do we need to do to support this?"
