I think it would be really neat to have some extended window manager 
hints to let the window manager draw the menu if it's able to, and 
otherwise fall back to the default mode. Then a mac or amiga imitating 
window manager could draw the menus in a menubar at the top. And an 
LCARS(star trek) window manager could draw them in an LCARS style.

but it is of course a problem that horizontal menus are usually 
organized in a different way, with quit under the file menu etc.
