Some users report that it does, both in gnome-panel and standalone mode.

My first reaction was, being a Gnome user myself, that if everything is 
as stated, I tend to agree.
But following the links, as well as working under gnome-shell, and 
having a stand-alone mode, it works with compiz (which will appeal to 
some users), and there are ports under development for gtk3 and xfce.
It seems to be a sort of configurable icon-based menu system.
There is no feature list as such, nor proposed new features, so it is a 
little uncertain what are it's limitations.
But why not ?
