Hi,

for those interested to have again a MacOS-like menu bar I started a port (as 
in: start from scratch but in the end copy large parts and adapt them) of the 
KDE 3 kicker applet. It even compiles and starts, but somehow the toplevel 
menu windows are suppressed by KWindowSystem, so no menus are catched by the 
plasmoid so far.

See
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/programmenu/

If you play with it, do not forget to add "macStyle=true" to the "[KDE]" 
section in kdeglobals and to reconfigure all with kbuildsycoca4.

Feel free to hack on it. Especially find out why a toplevel KMenuBar is not 
registered as a window or something :) No need to query me first with any 
patches, just go with them and commit, as I do not have much time for this 
plasmoid anyway, I will be pleased if you beat me on it!

Cheers
Friedrich
