Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-appmenu
With Natty, Ubuntu users will be presented a new default desktop, relying on upper bar global menu for applications, like Mac OS, but unlike all other previous Ubuntu desktops and all other mainstream desktops: Gnome (2 or 3), KDE, XFCE, MS Windows, etc.
While this may be an interesting change for many users, it may (will!) happen that some users will prefer to keep an "in-application" ("in-window" or "local") menus.
Right now (on Alpha 3 with daily updates), the only option is to deinstall indicator-appmenu package to achieve this (see: http://
This should be easier and more obvious, either by implementing an option somewhere in control centre or, at least, in gconf-editor.
Thanks.

I think if an Operating System presents such option to its users *its broken*. After all global menus is only the case in Unity, if you are an advance user you know how to remove indicator-appmenu a normal user does not need to do that, since he/she will be using Unity and not global menus. So I think there is no point in exposing such feature to a user.
