Comment 36 for bug 732653

I understand that an always-on menu will hide the window title. Here's an idea:

With the always-on menu enabled, maximized windows maximize the old-fashioned way: The title bar doesn't take over the menu bar.

Honestly, this seems to be a problem that Mac and Windows have sorted pretty well. I wish there were a simple toggle between the two behaviors: Ubuntu seems to be reinventing the wheel on this one in a way that's actually less usable.
