Uhh... this is already possible with GnomeDock GnomeDockItem and
GnomeDockBand (sp?). It is just the convenience functions
gnome_app_create_[menus,toolbar] that imposes a bit of interface policy. 

(And being a real macho hacker, you don't use those convenience functions
for big apps like AbiWord right? They are only helpful for very static
menus in small apps ;-)
