If I understand correctly you suggest using some kind of shaped window for menu+tab_header and then overlay that the normal menu button. That might work if done correctly, but it is quite tricky I think. While it might be technically possibly for the theme to rewrite the window position for the popup (to have it north-east corner match that of the panel button), I think it is a can of worms. This might trigger all kinds of unknown position and focus bugs (which are notoriously hard to right). And alternative solution is to patch gtk+ itself, but that will probably break all theme not using this trick... Sorry, if I sound negative. I shall twist my brain to try and come up with more constructive response...
