Ugh, why a new backwards-incompatible API instead of supporting this feature 
required for cross-desktop interoperability in the existing one? :-( In 
addition, the new API is designed to only export a single menu with a subset 
of the full one, which may work for Unity, but NOT for Mac-style menus such 
as the "global menu bar" widget available for KDE Plasma. Why reject a 
complete solution in favor of a crippled one? :-(
