Unfortunately, theming the bevel away is just a 'hack' and only solves the 
problem for myself, not for other people.

eg. If I'd add that inner bevel to a [insert any-]view (like shown in the 
screenshot) it would look nice on my system, but it would look make my app 
look ugly/amateurish on other systems where the user isn't using a theme 
with a non-beveled menu bar.

So I can choose:

1) Use no bevels in the [insert any-]views at all (looks way too flat and 
doesn't give a theme author the option to have a bevel or not for [insert 
any-]views, pcmiiw)
2) Tell the users to use a MyAppName-compatible theme (seems like crack to 
me)
3) Modify the style (of MyAppName) to remove the bevel and make the app look 
out of place on a Gnome Desktop (because other apps would have the bevel and 
MyAppName not)

None of these are an option for me.

Is there any ongoing work on such a widget?
If not, are there any plans for doing one? (I think I already know the 
answer for this one =)

   Probably because I wasn't subscribed to this list, I guess..
   If that was the problem I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
