Not really -- if I understand correctly allocating space works following way: All widgets get space they claim they need and the surplus is split among widgets with fillWidth == true in ratio which seems proportinal to width of given widgets. So even if global menu took space needed to display all menu items there still would be an ugly gap on right side of taskmanager. As a side note: hiding part of menu is not really an usability issue because the global menu applet is able show rest of it as a dropdown menu which is a patch yet to be upstreamed and I guess I also should port it to Global Menu applet (I am using Active Window Control applet which also shows name of app and buttuns to close /min / max window).
