Description Lucia Mrenica 2018-08-02 13:33:53 UTC 
So I can't hide the appmenu from apps if not all options are 'copied' into titlebar menu.
Comment 1 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-08-02 13:37:44 UTC 
I can confirm.

However, the window has both an application menu and a menu bar, something that we don't support right now. All applications I have tried before had either a proper menu bar with a "File" menu or a bare-bones application menu with Help, About, Quit.

Do you plan to support it? Do you know any other packages that are affected by this?

I originally tried but was more difficult than expected as mapping GTK menu items (that don't have a unique ID) to DBus Menu entries (that must have one) is hard enough, let alone if you have two completely independent menus that you try to merge into one..

No, I see this for the first time here, which explains why I never bothered to implement it given the above.
