The global menus is my major gripe with Unity since I found a patch to move the dock from the left to the bottom of the screen. Global menus kill the mouse-over focus functionality which I use heavily. The global menu for the last window passed over with the pointer appears rather than the menu for the intended app. Since almost all apps open against the top panel, it becomes a tight rope act to tread carefully around other windows to get to the menu for a smaller window that isn't against the top panel. I will try the patch in comment #60. That behavior should have been the default all along. I appreciate the suggestion earlier of uninstalling the offending indicator, which I may use if the patch doesn't work out.
My vote:
[ ] Global Menu on
[ ] Global Menu off
[X] Global Menu only for maximized windows
If this will eventually be user-selectable, then the default should be the global menu only for maximized).
