Hi, I'm curious how feasible would it be to make menu commands of Windows applications available over DBus? It would give endless possibilities if Windows applications could join GTK/QT/XUL/Java applications that share there functionality to be implemented a various innovative ways (Gnome Shell menu, Unity app menu, HUD). I see that it might not be trivial because Windows programs are everything but consistent and have at least as many toolkits as Linux.

Not using the same component. Can be "owner drawn", meaning Wine has no clue what's in the menu. So yeah, in some cases it will work, but not in all cases. Also there are lots of windows programs that "automate" some gui functions. Look in that direction.
