How to add Main Menu in Cairo Dock
!!!TO BE MADE FIRST !!!
As far as I know there is "no" main menu available for cairo-dock at the moment. The work-around that I found is to set up cairo-dock the way you like it. Make sure you set cairo-dock to load at boot by going to Preferences>Sessions and add it. Then open ccsm and enable "Widget Layer". Add this to the "Behavior" tab...
Code:
name=gnome-panel
Clean everything but the "Applications-Places-System" (main menu) off of the panel (you only need to keep one panel). When and if you need access to main menu hit your F9 key and the hidden panel will pop up. Hit F9 again to hide it.
BTW, I have tried kiba-dock, gdesklets and others and cairo-dock worked the best for me. YMMV!
Also, just drag the icons for apps you want to the dock to add them. It is also easy to make a sub-dock so you don't end up with a cluttered main dock.

THEN
download this script from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=75749&d=1214791021

or use included in the archive
Download the archive and extract it.
It contains only the script, named cairo-menu
Then open a terminal, go in the directory in which you have open the archive and run
Code:
chmod +x cairo-menu
to make it excutable.
The script allows two actions, add and remove, on three possible targets, i.e. applications, system and all.
For example running
Code:
./cairo-menu add applications # add the applications menu
./cairo-menu add all # add both system and applications menu
./cairo-menu remove system # remove only the system menu
and so on.
Use the -h option to quickly remember those options.
It now should be appeared in the upper dock (actually it's the main), under the Menu sub-dock
Now if everything is OK, you should have the same like on the screenshot @ gnome-files
