Bug Description
Currently applications with long menus list and most applications on low resolution screens are partially unusable.
Embedding of appmenu as dropdown menu under icon/button/caption must be implemented to overcome above issue.
Best examples of such implementations are Firefox's Iconic menu and Minimalist mode in gnome-global-menu (http://
As for me, best implementation would Caption (as in title bar) in top panel to open drop down or floating appmenu on left click.
While current (at least in Unity) mouse-over switching is annoying and useless with touch screens.

This bug confuses a number of different issues:

* the invocation mechanism of menus
* touch
Each of these issues has other bugs tracking them, or has been dealt
with previously.
