Non-wayfire desktops need a way to signal the user wishes to popup the menu. I propose that we catch SIGUSR1 and pass it to menu widgets for this purpose

Research direction
Start by locating the panel's signal-handling entry point and the menu widgets that receive popup requests. Trace how external signals are handled, then verify that SIGUSR1 is delivered to the menu widgets and opens the menu on non-Wayfire desktops.
