It is not true that hardy won't work with Global Menu. The Global Menu applet makes use of gnome-settings-daemon to allow the user to load/unload the Global menu gtk module on the fly.
Hardy uses gnome 2.22 or earlier when gnome-settings-daemon didn't implement this feature. Therefore the hardy users have to manually export GTK_MODULES variable. This fact is also stated in README.GNOME, which will be included in the 0.7.5 release.
