This one is easy because you can set the UBUNTU_APPMENU environment
variable to NULL and that'll disable menu exporting.

Can this happen dynamically?

These are all important usecases though. To be honest, I'd say that it would make sense to have an environment variable or gsettings key to hide the "shell" when running in some kind of integrated mode, though thats not really my call to make. Unloading and loading plugins is certainly one way to go, but the unity plugin is quite big, so dlopen takes a second or two to resolve the symbols.

Gsettings seems more dynamic than an env var. Seems like this needs to be flipped on and off. Not a use case for us for 12.04 LTS, but we would take patches.
