GNOME 2.8: gnome-panel menu code: rewritten?

[Christian Neumair <chris gnome-de org>]

Hi there!
I'd like to ask whether the whole menu code will be rewritten for GNOME
2.8, considering that the new freedesktop menu standard seriously rocks,
or whether it is just "adapted". In my opinion it doesn't look very
clean and clearly aranged. If it isn't rewritten, I'll hack a popup menu
for menus into the menu code and remove the "Entire menu" popup submenu
which isn't suitable for empty menus and unintuitive.

regs,
 Chris
