For our GTK build, we should put the menu into the context menu (as a Menu => submenu) if the titlebar is disabled. This will allow users to access the menu even when the titlebar is disabled or SSD is used.

We could use https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/class.PopoverMenuBar.html.

We could also use a GtkBox styled with .toolbar.

I guess you would also wrap it in an AdwToolbarView like what we currently have.

feat(GTK): show menu in context menu if titlebar is disabled (#4864)
12ce9f2 
This PR addresses #4732.

While @tristan957 suggested alternative approaches, this implementation
provides a straightforward way to make the menu accessible when the
window decoration is disabled. It follows patterns seen in other GTK
apps for handling submenus, though not strictly in the context menu
format truth be told.

If there’s a better way to approach this or further refinements needed,
I’m happy to discuss and iterate. This has been a minor issue I’ve
encountered personally, and I’d like to help improve the experience for
others as well.
