Hmm.. the only thing can't be done is .. it won't support icons , but
doesn't matter as i'm playing with bespin style , disabling menu icons
on all KDE / Qt apps.

Right , originally i tried to use Events as Qt Applications do , now i
found it's impossible , everything is a child of that widget , so .. i
modified structure of my code , now it's working.

See another thread , `Re: Bespin GlobalMenu with XBar Development,
Please help me develop plasma-globalmenu' , i'd rely more detailed.
