"Apple sells iMacs with screen sizes 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, and the Thunderbolt display at 2560x1440. It is not the case that a global menu bar is not ergonomic on large screens."
So global menus are ergonomical because Apple thinks so? Because Apple does things this way it doesn't mean that there isn't a problem with it.

I would love an Unity AppMenu (let's hope for a Compiz plugin!), but Manny's last proposition really is the most reasonable one for this cycle, and it could increase menu discoverability and its persistence.

I think this discussion gave us good solutions for two major problems with the global menu:
1- An option to turn global menus on/off for non-maximized windows/always off;
2- A fourth window button to turn menu persistence on/off, which could work both for maximized and non-maximized windows.
