Hello,

> -Is there any way of integrating oxygen-appmenu without breaking
Oxygen-appmenu is deprecated, you should use this now:

https://gitorious.org/kde-workspace-appmenu

Me and Lionel Chauvin are working to get this ready for KDE 4.9 (and maybe 
merged). We need to start a discussion with Martin and Hugo, on kde-devel?

kde-workspace appmenu branch depends on kded-appmenu (on kde git).

> -How the KDED works?
You just have to use the RegistratClient lib available in kded-appmenu, it's 
quite simple to use:
mRegistrarClient = new RegistrarClient();
QMenu* menu = mRegistrarClient->menuForWinId(windowId());

I thinks it's what will be available in libdusmenu2, but not sure, maybe 
Aurelien Gateau can give us some informations.

Gtk will use libdusmenu2 but not plan for merging version 1.

Otherwise, i know vertical menu isn't perfect (but IMO, it's quite cool) but 
there is now reason to works on an alternative menu presentation now, 
libdbusmenu2 (i may be wrong) will just give a way to the applications to send 
actions on dbus... I will give a look at GNOME 3.4 to see how this is working.
