The (sparse) advice here suggests that “Print” should not be in the GMenu:
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.4/GtkApplication.html#gtk-application-set-app-menu

I’d prefer to see “Preferences” rather than “Encrypt options” (or similar), since there are preferences for spell checking as well, and it’s a more common term.

Apart from that, I have no idea what should go in the GMenu. Personally, I don’t see the appeal in GMenu and think there’s a terrible lack of guidance as to the purpose of having a separate menu bar and GMenu. I guess we need to pester a member of the design team about it.

(I also don’t see the need to reduce the current menu bar: I think it’s already about as minimal as it can be. But then I’m not a designer and you’re the maintainer now, so you can make the final decision. :-) )

In this case, the Print item is an application operation, not just a window based, because Almanah only have one window. I think a Print item in this case is justified.

Yes, I have been forgotten the spell checking checkbox, but we can add it in the GMenu too. Considering that only two things (encryption and spell checking) are shown in the preferences dialog I think we can add them as separate items in the GMenu

I think that it's better to just have a GMenu and remove the window menu bar. Yes, it's a big change, but I hope that this change can improve the usability to a more direct user action.

We can add a menu toolbutton in the toolbar with cut/copy/paste/delete/insert time at the moment, like Epiphany or Nautilus.

Yes, I have been forgotten other items. But a reduction is possible, for example:

File: Page setup, Print preview and Print can be merged in a Print item.
Format: All the menu can be removed :)
Help: can be removed too, just an About in GMenu.

Another propose:

 * Go to today
 * Select day
 * Search
 * (space)
 * "Encrypt" or "Encryp options"  (just the select the encryption key)
 * Enable spell checking
 * (space)
 * Print
 * (space)
 * Export
 * Import
 * (space)
 * About
 * (space)
 * Quit

But I think that "Go to today" and "Select day" must be placed in the date selection window (go to today already) and the "Search" item would be better in the Overview window...

OK.

I personally still think that ‘Preferences’ would be better, since Almanah might grow more preferences in future.

Apart from ‘Preferences’, that looks reasonable to me.
