Comment 1 for bug 690447

Hi Chris, thanks for filing this bug.

1) For the dbusmenu fixes, go ahead and propose the branch for merging, and we'll review and land that on trunk quickly.

2) There is a way. The about to show signal finally got wired in GTK at the end of Maverick. It's in trunk if you look into libdbusmenu-gtk/client.c:menu_pressed_cb

Similarly, there is a way for applications to pop up the panel menu, by calling dbusmenu_menuitem_show_to_user. you can look into lp:appmenu-gtk/bridge.c for an example

We'll look at the patches for unity and indicator-appmenu: thanks!

3) I think we could add an extra signal, sent by i-appmenu and transported by dbusmenu to indicate which menu element just closed. The app. would have to check if its the toplevel menu or one of its submenus. Would that make sense in your case?
