Actually, I would like to standardize such menu buttons, as an alternative for 
windows with light menu hierarchies. Such a button can help saving vertical 
space because the menu button shares the vertical space of the toolbar.

Having said so, the current mockup does not really need so much vertical space 
and the line where I put the "More..." button is not really a toolbar, so I 
think a classic menubar can be used here. I just pushed a new mockup (in 
http://agateau.com/tmp/kwalletmanager/2 )
