Comment(by deryni):

 (I swear I commented on this at the time, though apparently not here, and
 my answer at this point is different than it was then.)

 We've rejected this in the past on the principal that it is something that
 GTK+ should really be handling for us and not something we should be doing
 ourselves.

 That being said, I'm less opposed to this now than I was previously.

 As written the patch looks fairly good (though there are some stylistic
 things that would want touching up, including moving menu_extra to the
 private struct). I can't comment on the GTK+ size calculation bits
 directly as I'm not familiar with the sizing/allocation mechanism involved
 at the moment but the rest of it looks pretty good.

 We would need to make sure it works correctly when menu-tray icons are
 present but it looks like it has code to handle that case.

 I do wonder if it might make more sense to look into writing our own
 version of the menu widget instead of hacking this in this way.
