I'm really confused. LIM and those two mockups have NOTHING to do with how the global menu behaves or the original description of the Enhanced Menu project (described in the "Desired change" section of the description). How is it a solution to the VERY SERIOUS ISSUE that the global menu hides, making it hard to understand and use? (Three hours on the phone with my very old mum yesterday, trying to make her understand that there was a menu at the top and that he had to go up there to close the window too).

LIM and other integrated menus tackle a completely different issue, that is PART of the problem (menus global or not) but not the other part of the problem (global menu hidden or a la OS X).

Shuttleworth (and if I'm not mistaken John Lea as well) were describing a solution that included a permanently visible menu many months ago. What happened to that? Will the only solution be the Unity-Revamped third party collection of patches? (Thanks Isaac!!!!)

Please Mr. Lea or Mr. Shuttleworth, be so kind to chime in and clear this up. I just don't understand the silence.
