Re: GTK+ Mac OS X state of the union

All things said...

I think that it is silly to assume that poor developers will not do  
some tweaks for OSX. After all, they will need to make .app bundle  
and other stuff, just like we are doing for MS Windows. And even if  
they don't, in the spirit of open community somebody will do that and  
create native version of Gimp (like now it is with Gimp.app) or  
Freeciv or whatever...

Automatic creation based on currently focused window is just plain  
wrong. It is not compatible with Apple HIG and it will not even work  
all the time.

What I think will work is to provide OSX top level menu API wrapper  
in GTK so we can construct our menus for OSX (remember, it will be  
different then any in-window menu). And if some app does not do that,  
GTK can create default menu with application name and Quit menu item  
with Cmd-Q accelerator in it.

Just my 0.02$
