GtkApplication uses D-Bus to export actions that can be shown by the app menu.
You should ask Colin (IRC: walters) if you want to know how this can be used. Else, there is some technical information here: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/GApplication.html http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/GSimpleAction.html But it's not very friendly, nor explicit about what you're supposed to do with this. My understanding is that apps will be able to implement actions, and that the Shell will detect a few of them (those for which it knows the name), and list them in the menu.
