Guys: stop discussing the implementation. The design team and the Ayatana team have all the briefing and are working on this.
There's only one question remaining: WHEN?
This bug was to be solved for 12.04, then 12.10... Mark Shuttleworth promised well before 12.04 that the default menu behaviour would be tweakable in the direction this bug shows. I think it's not unfair to ask for a solid commitment from the devs about the chance of this bug being solved for 13.04.
So please Mr. John Lea et al: let us know how's this going and what our reasonable expectactions can be.
