Description Arnel Borja 2013-07-08 01:54:13 UTC 
https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PortToGMenu

For Glade to be consistent with other GNOME applications, it should have an application menu. The menus have to be ported to GMenu, splitting the main menu into the app menu and window menu, and the Gtk*Action's have to be ported to GAction.

The app menu could be like this:

New Window
---
Preferences
---
Help  
About Glade
Quit

"Help" could be "Developer Reference" - "Help" is more common but it shows up the developer reference manual here instead of a help document. Not sure about the "New Window" item though.

Then the window menu will be the current contents but without the above items.

I still don't have a patch for this, might work on that later...

Comment 3 Juan Pablo Ugarte 2013-10-04 13:35:34 UTC 
You are right, but (there is always a but) as an implicit rule since Glade UI was ported to Glade we only make Glade with Glade, so this is not only about porting it to GMenu but rather adding support for it in Glade.

But the problem is that GMenu is not a regular Object and we would need to support a new element in builder "menu" which wont be as easy as supporting a new object class.
