Mike Owens was doing some work a while ago with KDE to improve their
global menu, using a protocol basically like the Freedesktop
Notification spec, so that basically you'd have a panel applet (Menu
manager) swallowing individual apps' menubars. I don't know what ever
came of it, but that might be a good place to start.
It'd allow for cross-desktop compatibility (though you'd have theme
clashes and such)
