A theme engine can control the shadow type using the "shadow-type"
style property, but there is no programmatic way to control the
shadow type for individual menu bars.

That being said, you can do it using the generic mechanism for
applications to override theme components; something like:

 gtk_widget_set_name (menubar, "my-menu-bar");
 gtk_rc_parse_string ("style \"my-menu-bar-style\" {\n"
                      "   GtkMenuBar::shadow-type = none\n"
                      "}\n"

                      "widget "*.my-menu-bar.*" style : highest \"my-menu-bar-style\" ");

But you should think about how that will interact with different ways
different themes might draw menu bars.
