Bug Description
In Ubuntu 11.04 (without running Unity) there was no menu bar at the top of my secondary display. This is exactly what I (and I figure most people) want when e.g. presenting.
What happens in 11.10: the top menu is shown on the secondary monitor as well, even when using LibreOffice in presentation mode. And there's no way to hide it!
This makes Ubuntu 11.10 unusable for a lot of scenarios, including business. This keeps me from upgrading to 11.10 for my business laptop and it would prevent me from using 12.04 (and recommending it to others!) if this is not fixed by then.

Not sure if it made any difference, but I just installed the libreoffice- presenter- console package (which unfortunately still doesn't work on 11.10, see Bug #824466) and when I tried again, the top menu bar was not displayed on top of the presentation any more (I also removed and re-attached the secondary monitor in the mean time, so maybe that has influenced the system as well?).
So it seems this issue isn't happening every time.
