Humm we need GtkApplication to do that and it's not ready yet.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-01-10 11:22:23 UTC 
We should  port to GtkApplication and GtkApplicationWindow first: bug #667619

There are quite a lot of items in the current menus that would fit into the scope of an app menu. However, moving a whole bunch of stuff in there would fragment the current menu bar and result in an over-sized menu bar.

My suggestion is to stick to basic items (accounts, preferences, help, about, quit) for now. See the attached wireframe.

app menu, sorry!

I should first finish the GtkApplication port: bug #667619
Comment 6 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-05-15 07:23:36 UTC 
Closing as a dup of bug #667619 as the app menu has been implemented in the same branch.
