I actually kind of like that capability that MacOS has always had. I can think of a number of reasons why this won't happen, though. One is that you'd have to either have a menu server process, or some way to write to a GdkWindow that belongs to another process. Sounds kind of messy. But again, I would like to see it. Perhaps EggMenubar or some other extension library might be able to offer this functionality.
