I think there's more needed. Under Unity, running the attached Python
script from a terminal gives me some results:

--
$ ./hud.py
File > <b>Open</b> Tab
File > <b>Open</b> Terminal
dropbox > <b>Open</b> Dropbox Folder

Terminal > Set Character Encoding > Add <b>or</b> Remove…

Under Gnome, I get nothing back, even though:

--
$ echo $UBUNTU_MENUPROXY
libappmenu.so
--

I'm interested in the libhud-client library though. Is it able to be
used via GObject introspection? And is there any documentation
available?

Cheers,
Jason
