KDE applications work well with MacOS menu bar. I remember this was not 
always the case, but as of late I have had very little problems. I would 
actually miss this feature, if it were removed.

I am just a bit surprised Qt-only applications cannot be made aware of this 
user setting, since Qt must have support for it anyway for the MacOS port.

Exactly. Since we expect KDE applications to be ported to Qt/Mac, it is 
useful to be able to check the applications work with external menubars on 
more popular platforms (Popular between KDE developers, that is).

It would be great if this was less of a hack, however. Maybe it would be 
better to coordinate with Trolltech to move the needed stuff from KMenuBar 
to QMenuBar, or to make Qt aware of the KDE setting as well.
