It doesn't look like it

IMHO the right thing todo long term is to kill the menu bar from the
GTK UI entirely, and replace with the GTK HeaderBar. This allows the
menu items to be provided via popups directly from the title bar of
the windows, which is more vertically space efficient. This would
probably have to wait for us to ditch GTK2, so I think this fix is
reasonable until that time.

Daniel
