It appears that GNOME developers are not really interested in
supporting sessions without GNOME Shell, but we can make a workaround:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides
"{'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': <0>}"

It disables the Application menu, so fallback menus become visible.
It's possible set this setting on login, even set xsettings directly
from the gnome-flashback binary without touching the settings of
gnome-settings-daemon.

After making metacity release I will prepare patches. I don't want use workarounds. Patches wont be big so I hope they will accept them.
