Bug Description

Binary package hint: plasma-widget-menubar

If the appmenu widget has no items available, it's presence on the panel is confusing, it should autohide itself in these cases.

The goal here is to show useful actions there instead of hiding it. I discussed this with Plasma developers and they suggested showing the panel or desktop menu. What do you think?

I think that might make sense sometimes. Think about chromium as an example. I'm not sure there's anything to show that wouldn't just be confusing.

The menu does offer a close button for chromium, for the record.
