I found half of it.  Here is a panel applet that shows the focused
window's name (and min/max/close buttons) in the top menubar.  You
could probably hack it to show the focused window's menu instead.

The code is very alpha.  Run it like:
$ ./titlebar-applet -w
for a standalone window (for testing), or do the make install thing
and then Add to Panel

You might need to install the Python wnck bindings - I forget what
package provides that.
