You need to install Qt 4.5.3 maemo6, which is the latest version of Maemo Qt community port.

Hi,
Maemo5 menus are supported by all Qt packages available.
Qt 4.6 tech preview2 as well as next Qt 4.5.3 packages (version 4.5.3-xxxxx-maemo6)
have maemo5 menus enabled by default.

Current Qt 4.5.3 packages doesn't have Maemo5 menus enabled by default.
Qt 4.5.3 shows Maemo5 menu ONLY if QActions are in a menu called "fremantle".

Eg:
You can create a Menu structure like this:

-File
* Open
* Close
-Edit
* Copy
* Paste
-Fremantle
* Action1
* Action2

In this case Qt 4.5.3 will show a Maemo5 menu with Action1 and Action2.
Actions in File and Edit menu won't be shown at all.

Menu is a window parented to the application window. Here is a test application which colors two windows in different colors:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>

int
main (int argc,
      char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    app.setStyleSheet("QMainWindow { background-color: yellow }\
                       QMainWindow#main { background-color: green }");

    QMainWindow win1;
    QMainWindow win2(&win1);

    win1.setObjectName("main");
    win1.show();
    win2.show();

    return app.exec();
}

I used your code ,the code works fine
but when i used the following code

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QMenuBar>
#include <QMenu>


int
main (int argc,
      char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);


   app.setStyleSheet("QMainWindow { background-color: yellow }\
                     QMainWindow#main { background-color: green }");

    QMainWindow win1;
    QMainWindow win2(&win1);

    win1.setObjectName("main");

    QMenuBar menuBar(&win1);
    QMenu menu("Fremantle",&menuBar);
    QAction action("hello", &menu);
    menu.addAction(&action);
    menuBar.addMenu(&menu);
   // menuBar.setStyleSheet("background-image: url();");


    win1.show();
    win2.show();

    return app.exec();
}

the menus does not appear at all .
listen , My main problem is to set background image for the main window but the menus
must still appear in native maemo theme.
there is a solution?
note:
when i set the style sheet of the background to image, the menus take the same image.
thank you.

You don't need to create another QMenuBar.

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QMenuBar>
#include <QMenu>

int
main (int argc,
      char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    /* Ukrainian-style colour scheme */
    app.setStyleSheet("QMainWindow { background-color: blue }" \
                      "QMenuBar { background-color: red }" \
                      "QMenu { background-color: yellow }");

    QMainWindow win;
    QMenu menu("Fremantle");

    menu.addAction("Action");

    win.menuBar()->addMenu(&menu);
    win.show();

    return app.exec();
}
