Can't you just make it that this menu can't be torn off?

Cool idea.  I guess I should add some gnome libraries etc. and try this
out or is there a framework that can be used by all ports?

Also you should be aware that the long term plan was/is to allow multiple
BufferViews per LyXView.  Will your scheme still work in such a case?  How
hard to make it work?  (Sorry I haven't time to look at your work till
next week at the earliest so I'll just ask questions blindly instead)
