Yes!

Hmm, so shared menu is not a global option but per decoration? In such
case I opt (strongly :-D) for "it is required...".
Otherwise it will limit user too much (partially as with current
plasma).
And it such case we don't need per decoration settings, global would
suffice (and when you change decoration the options are preserved).

Typo? Repeated the last phrase.

The menu is pushed, but the option says if the menu should be shared,
so it means it is sucked up. So the root of course can use this
option but we should treat it as special kind -- so FAI, GAI, TAI and
desktop.
