Comment 50 for bug 682788

Wouldn't it be great if Ubuntu brings an optional & customizable bottom
panel back. This could be done in 12.04

Subject: [Bug 682788] Re: Global menu is not ergonomical on large
screens

I hate how title hides menu in global menu. this is unintuitive, if you
not a poweruser

and i have to have the close button hidden, sometimes i want to close a
window behind a smaller and not maximed windows. you cant close the
window until you click that windows to give it focus so aftar you have
to move the mouse to title bar to make the buttons show up.

Title:
  Global menu is not ergonomical on large screens

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Global menu in general (not only in Unity) is very unergonomic on
  large screens (see the attached screenshot) because if you have a
  small window somewhere near the low right corner you have to move the
  cursor all the way up to to panel to reach the menu. I understand why
  the global menu was used for the netbook edition (it saves space and
  most windows are maximized), but since Unity is intended to be for the
  desktop edition there should be an option to switch to the traditional
  position of the app menu. It would be welcomed by many desktop users.

  A commonly suggested solution is:
   [ ] Global Menu on
   [ ] Global Menu off
   [ ] Global Menu only for maximized windows
   The default is usually suggested as either the first (on) or last (on
only for maximized).
