Bug Description

In Ubuntu 14.04 you can enable the option "Show the menus for a window in the window's title bar".

The problem is that when I've multiple windows open the hover menu doesn't appear on unfocused windows.
Since this option should be a equivalent for the old behavior these should definitely show.

I actually like it that way, otherwise it'd become too flashy/fancy/confusing/hard to do even a window drag/etc.

moving a window shouldn't be a problem because you can move with the menu-part, too.
Anyway even if canonical thinks like you, they could add a dconf option so this can be configured with the unity tweak tool
