Martin Patik is working on the TMenu Editor.

Can you give more details?

The LCL is platform independent, and communicates via interfaces. For
instance, with the gtk interface you compile gtk applications. Currently the
gtk and the gnome interface are working under linux. Under windows the gtk
and the win32 interface are working, but not as good as under linux. The
gtk2 interface is only started and not working.
With the 'build lazarus' you select, what interface to build (default is
gtk). If you build first the gtk interface and then the gnome interface, you
will get two sets of units (lcl/unit/gtk/ and lcl/units/gnome/). 
Then you can select in the compiler options if your project will create a
gtk or a gnome application.

This is win32 specific. Kylix for example has also several items.
Eventually the LCL will support frames and docking. Then all IDE windows can
be combined into one. But it is a long way till then.
