Kde has the built in Mac OS X style menu, I believe its called deskbar. With kde 4 is that going to work with non kde apps?

P.S. new similies

No. It's a toolkit issue.

Gtk+ (what Gnome uses) is different from Qt (what KDE uses). I assume Qt has some way of defining the main menu bar of a program, which is how the Mac OS X menu style hack works. Gtk+ menu bars are just regular widgets with no special status.

I'm sure one of the members of this forum wrote a patch that gives GTK the same capability, but I can't remember who it was :/

if I applied that patch would all my gtk programs all work with that. and is there any patch for java apps, and the mozilla toolkit

Here's the thread for the GTK menu bar: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241868

I haven't been following the progress, but it's 30 pages long, so I guess there must be some people playing with it and installing it on their systems. I don't know if it's compatible with KDE at this point.
