Normal menus instead of Opera button

In Unity, by default, the Opera button isn't shown, but instead normal menus (like on Mac). But if the user starts the browser with the command: opera --show-opera-menu, it will force a button instead. I wonder if I can do the opposite, ie. to force normal menus, in for example Xfce, KDE or Gnome, where an Opera button is shown by default.

You can't, because although Opera implements the Unity menu and its protocol, it doesn't implement KDE's menus (not possible because Opera not Qt-based) or Gnome's application menu (not possible because Opera not GTK3-based).

I wish if there would be a --hide-opera-button or --disable-opera-button command line switch... I wonder if someone already filed this as a bug? They don't necessarily need to implement a KDE or GTK3 menu, just have a normal opera menu without the button, invoked by pressing Alt or Alt-F.

I know there are people who are not using a keyboard (such as using Opera on a TV) but there are also people who are using Opera with a keyboard, but not using Unity and don't like the Opera menu button and would like to save screen real estate. I miss some of these features from Opera 12...

Indeed, as it was in Opera 12.
