I initially thought of working on this , but didnt get very far.

I'm posting Comments from Cody Russell, so that it would be useful to anyone who is interested on fixing this >

 <bratsche> Does gnome-main-menu expose GtkOrientation somewhere?

 <bratsche> http://library.gnome.org/devel/panel-applet/stable/PanelApplet.html#panel-applet-get-orient
 <bratsche> That might be a good place to start from if this is something you're interested in hacking on.
 <bratsche> I don't have time to work on this right now, but if you're interested in it then I can try to help you out some.
 <bratsche> App indicators still live inside a panel applet ultimately. So that applet would need to know its orientation and then communicate that to the indicator.
 <bratsche> Oh, and lastly you'd need to listen to this signal: http://library.gnome.org/devel/panel-applet/stable/PanelApplet.html#PanelApplet-change-orient
