Appmenu support in KDE 4.10

Appmenu support for KDE is now available in master for testing.

This is mostly a Kded module able to:
- Display a top screen menubar

- Display a menu at wanted position

When a user click on kwin application menu button, it just tell to kded-appmenu to show menu for window at position.

At this time, only oxygen support the button but we hope support in Aurorae for KDE > 4.10

To test this, you have to:
- Install appmenu-qt (available in openSUSE, ArchLinux and Kubuntu)
- Setup your menu behaviour in kcm style

After fixing plasma-widget-menubar for using kded-appmenu, next step will be to look at GMenuModel from Canonical and move to this API if possible (already used in Gnome-shell).

Thanks to Lionel Chauvin for first patch version!

Thanks to Thomas Lübking, Martin Gräßlin and Hugo Pereira Da Costa for help!

Kde appmenu support

Hello all,

me and Lionel Chauvin are working on bringing appmenu support to KWin.

First, there is kded-appmenu, a kded module needed to enable multiples applications (krunner, kwin, ...) to import menu at the same time.

And then this kde-workspace branch:
https://gitorious.org/kde-workspace-appmenu

Here a video showing how it looks:

We hope this in KDE 4.9.

Here the patch for KDE 4.8:
