No app does that yet anyway. Slightly off topic for the GNOME lists, but just to clear up any confusion. In indicator-appmenu we watch for applications that both application menus and window menus and display both in the Unity menu bar. So an application that has both would get something like: [Application Name] [File] [Edit] But then, perhaps obviously, if there are no window menus only the application menu will be shown (and vice-versa). It's true that not many applications do this, so bloatpad was the biggest test case, but that's the idea :-) While there are few today, our goal here was to ensure that as new applications are developed it is expected that they'd use GMenuModel instead of traditional GTK menus. We expect that some developers would want to target the Ubuntu 12.04 release via myapps[1] and we want those applications to work for the full lifecycle of the release. We want to encourage usage of GMenuModel in all applications, much better than the Dbusmenu parser we have for the traditional menus. --Ted [1] http://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com (slow today, sorry)
