That hack would result in integrating with dbus-menu. 

We'd want some GNUstep app that draws global menus published via dbus-menu, and we'd also want our apps publish menus via dbus-menu.

Gtk and Qt apps, as well as Firefox and Java, have already been taught how to publish stuff on dbus-menu, so they would integrate well with our environment. And vice versa, our apps would integrate with Unity's (and others'?) global menus.

Niels has worked on this as part of DBusKit:

Excellent idea! Please do this!
