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 is 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://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/does-unity-support-disabling-the-global-application-menu).

This should be easier and more obvious, either by implementing an option somewhere in control center or in desktop settings or, at least, in gconf-editor.

Thanks.
