Hi Pigeon

There is no way to get the menu back and no such way is going to be
added. The only way to get a menu in the toolbox is to use GIMP 2.4.
There were many reasons to get rid of the toolbox menu, one being that
two menubars in one application is just plain wrong. For more reasoning
behind the change, refer to the UI specification [1]
