Pinta 2.2 because of three menu levels main menu info is lost

Pinta 2.2-development on Ubuntu 22.10 using latest master https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/suites/11878179935/artifacts/621324304

Pinta 2.2-development is Gtk4 application where upstream Gtk4 ideas are to remove menus. This is all fine for applications that have one or two levels of menus. But Pinta has three levels and when entering into third level, the main menu information is lost (not displayed on screen).

In my humble opinion Pinta should preserve menus.

I'm not sure we can do anything about the menu style since that comes from GTK, but I think the main task here is to figure out if we should make any improvements to the header bar / menu design (related to bug 2012961 too) to e.g. avoid having a triple-nested menu

With https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/commit/c0b0b6d4c0b990042c76f90e6d5b4b486ac4c95c, I've added a few more menu buttons to the header bar for common sections like effects, adjustments, and image actions
Let me know if you think that works better

Confirmed.

I have installed Pinta latest development from master branch: https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/actions/runs/7243481908/artifacts/1120514223 and I see new icons are added to the top right which makes this problem way less problematic. Thanks
