No. indicator-appmenu was not installed. I just installed it now and restarted and the menu is there! I think that fixed the problem! So it looks like it was just a dependency issue with indicator-appmenu that failed to install it from an upgrade from 10.04 LTS. Cool. Hope you now have enough info to fix it for other people.

The minimize, maximize and close functions still work fine if a program is running, but if a program is not running this menu (which is present on a fresh install of 12.04) never appears. On a fresh install of 12.04 this hidden menu appears where "Ubuntu Desktop" is normally seen. I like this menu because it allows easy access to File, Edit, View, Go, and Help. I usually use it to connect to my server over ssh. I assume this is part of unity, but i'm not sure. Unity seems to run fine, so i am thinking maybe it's some sort of panel menu issue.
