I don't know if there is any work being done to address/implement the
idea here but I must say, I really really like it.
I think the click-to-gain-focus is not an issue if the menu is shown on
hover for only active windows. That is, if there is an inactive
maximized (unmaximized) window at the bac

Suggestion for a new Unity Menu Concept

@Paul: I meant adding top padding above the menubar in non-maximized
windows, to be able to drag/focus/etc the window easily. I am aware that
it would be less vertical space efficient, but as long as we keep the
padding less than 24px (I guess that's the menubar's height) and I guess

I understand your concerns about the "click for focus" and the
"drag&drop" issues...

adding a bit of padding above the menubar, e.g. 10 px, so you can click
and drag the window borders too, but you have the menu's in there. I
still see that moving the menubar for non-maximized windows in the
titlebar would be a ver
Oh yes that's true.
I made a test. My 11 most used applications which have global menu:

- Pinta Image Editor
- Gimp
- Terminal
- Ubuntu Software Center
- FileZilla
- Mysql Query Browser
- Calculator

Another issue: The best way to switch from a normal window to a
maximized one in the background is clicking in the menu bar of the
maximized application (it's fast and you don't have the risk of pressing
any buttons or links in the maximized window). Whether this works or not
heavily depends on how
