I made some mockups back in April which match what many people in this thread have suggested - Global Menu only in maximised windows. They are very similar to mockup 2 in the previous comment by manny . The difference in mine is that the whole window is the same colour as the title bar, and all empty space in the window (ideally the space which is the same colour) can be used to drag the window around.
I have also mocked up a few options for when the menu bar is longer than the space available in the title bar.
These changes would give us the usefulness of the 'Global' menu - space saving - but also keep the usability and ergonomicness of having the menu bar close to the window.
Here are my mockups - feel free to comment and criticise so I can make better ones: http://
