Ubuntu in its new edition of netbook is going to have similiar thing. They,
as far as I can see have made the
QT and GTK display global menu.

Maybe use some of ther stuff to bring it to global menu project?

Yes they got the QT part done.
More or less I would say ubuntu's app-menu will deprecate Global Menu, when
their
patches to GTK merges upstream.

Haven't they used gnome-globalmenu as the basis of their changes?
Even if they merge their global menu upstreams, one should be here to
ensure it is
available accross desktop environments… through a panel applet, or
independently.

I was under impression that it's going to be a Netbook version thing only,
with specific changes to fit their
new "Unity" shell. Sure, one could use it on the desktop but it's going to
bring dependecies form that netbook
shell and who-knows-what.
Besides, Global Menu is and, again in my impression, will remain to be more
advanced and suitable for
desktop users. If you could add the QT part, it will make it that much
cooler :)

Yes.. Ubuntu's Appmenu is... primitive, and severely buggy at the moment.
The Qt support is nice, but if we could have that in Globalmenu, it would
be superior in every way

I've implemented this using a QMenuBar plugin, the same way Ubuntu's
Appmenu does it.
https://gitorious.org/firefox-gnome-globalmenu/qt4-gnome-globalmenu
Note that you need Qt4.7 and Ubuntu's QMenuBar plugin system patch (for
example available here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40317 ).
While it should work on Qt4.8, I've not tried.
The plugin also hacks the WM_NAME on the session leader window for Qt
applications so that the menu applet gives more meaningful application
names.

should move this entire project to the saem bas as ubuntu and kde's global
menu. the implementation is now less buggy than this solution and has
support from several desktop teams. Also the dbusmenu integration allows
for many possibilities in new menu development. I love all the desktops,
and i think gnome-shell deserves an actively developed global menu that
works on qt and can take advantage fo all the people making plugins and
stuff for firefox, libre-office, callibre, etc

I personally disagree, which is why I still keep using it (and therefore
fixing it when it breaks on my systems, which all use Gentoo stable). Using
D-Bus is a very bad idea, because it does not work with X11 network
redirection or windows handled by other users' processes (that is, root).
Of course, using X11 means it dies when X11 dies, but since I want to hold
on X for as long as possible...
