Thanks Jani.

That was not my experience with the version of Xubuntu-64, at the time
of the report. Since I "fixed" the problem for that machine, I haven't
paid any attention to it. What I just did was the following steps:

    renamed my makeshift Terminal directory in /etc/xdg to oldTerminal
    (sudo mv /etc/xdg/Terminal /etc/xdg/oldTerminal)

    created a new user - using adduser in a term window and accepting
all the defaults
    logout
    logged back in as the new user
    open a terminal window
    navigate through menubar to edit-preferences-appearance
    uncheck display menubar in new windows
    close terminal preferences dialog
    close old terminal window
    open a new terminal window

The menu bar is there, and if you navigate through menubar to
edit-preferences-appearance, the box has reverted to being checked.

I've confirmed that the behavior is the same if I run an SMP kernel, or
a regular kernel on the X64 machine.

I also just confirmed the behavior on the x86 version of Xubuntu on my
laptop. Radically different machine architecture - Transmeta Efficieon CPU.

I know how frustrating it is when it's one of those "but it works on my
machine" bugs. Had I not been able to reproduce the problem on my
laptop, I would have blown it off as a download or installation "glitch"

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide...I
can do screen captures, but I didn't see how that could really help.

I've been pretty regular about updating both machines daily using
Synaptic, and religiously reloading-marking-all-updates, etc.

You guys have done a terrific job with Xubuntu...I do appreciate it.
Let me know how I can help.

P.S. For more bug finding joy - try opening help, and clicking on panel
on the help page that comes up...I think this one's an "upstream"
problem (happens on my Zen box too)
