Getting menubars out of application windows, episode II… the missing screencast

As promised in my first post about getting menubars out of application windows, here is the missing screencast: application menus in KDE, with GTK+ support.

original version

There is still work to do, in particular getting GTK+ menus correctly ordered. I need to investigate whether the problem is in Plasma import or in the GTK+ export steps. Things are moving quite well though: icons and shortcuts are back, quite a few bugs got fixed and we have the beginning of a fallback menu (the menu which is shown when a menubar-less window is active, or when no window are active)

Ubuntu Lucid users can try this using the Unity PPA. If you want to build it yourself, you will need:

The Qt patch, which you can find in the appmenu branch of my Gitorious fork of Qt
