This gets a very complex popup with tons of submenus.
OK, I'll see.

I mean the menu is already there but there is just an extra entry at its end.
Code is in cvs.

What you see there is actually not Tk menu widget but me hacked together
a very complex toplevel window which is designed like a menu.
This is a very bad thing to do.
I know Danial has added another menu mechanism which is more
low level and allows images but I haven't looked at it.
Correct: I looked at it but didn't get anywhere from a quick look.

This gets very messy since it can be hard to tell which slot a close button
actually closes.

That is not a slot, but the toolbar. Well, that's an idea.
But on Mac we already have the button in the window list,
no need to duplicate that.

No Tk support for things like this. I guess you mean it should slide
slowly up and down. Cool but there's a reason only Apple does such things.

More:

Coccinella icon: now size 22x22; it needs a graphics designer to add arrows.
Application status slot: added; note the chasing arrows when logging in.
