Integrate AppMenu with GNOME 3.4 and vice versa
GNOME is moving to an "AppMenu in the shell" approach in 3.4, it's basically our AppMenu exported via D-bus. It would be awesome if we discussed the APIs and develop a specification that suits both their thing and our AppMenu and migrate Granite to that spec, so our apps look native to GNOME and GNOME apps look native to Pantheon

But how will apps that use GNOME's appmenu show the menu in elementaryOS without the appmenu widget? - Niagr
@Niagr: Maybe a plugin for Mutter to display a cogwheel button on the right side of window decorations (which will open the app menu)? This will look similar to elementary apps menus. -- mitya57
[Update: Such behaviour has been implemented in Compiz/Unity and a patch is available for Metacity — see bug 931245]
I'd rather patch GTK+ toolbar widget and make it include Granite AppMenu if there's a an AppMenu manifested in GApplication. --shnatsel
@Shnatsel: some apps will drop menubar in favour of exporting appmenu... --mitya57
@mitya57: sorry, burnout madness. Toolbar widget, of course. --shnatsel
