Well, basically we could use the qtubuntu QPA plugin, but that's not required. Actually I've been thinking to do it as a separate package in fact. Might need to update the bug description, as my research changed the approach to the problem a bit. The attached blueprint has more info on that.

In a quick overview: we don't have to make it part of a QPA plugin. We can simply make a stand-alone QPlatformTheme plugin that will be loaded on any QPA that's currently used. So, this appmenu QPA QPlatformTheme plugin would be a generic unix theme with the appmenu-qt functionality. In my free work time I'm actually working around the strangeness of the platform menubars implementation to make it less code-duplicating. But we'll see how it goes.

For now I would simply stick to DBusmenu as this is what we have been using currently and then, if needed, open up a separate work item for that one.
