I have found that sometimes icons in the sidebar are mysteriously
coalesced. For instance, I've had Chrome and gedit merge into a single
icon, and clicking it would bring up the windows for both. However, this
happens too seldom to be reproducible, and I am not sure it has happened
in 12.04 yet, so I have no idea if it has been fixed yet.

But that is fairly offtopic for this bug.

For this, I agree: Hiding the menu is TERRIBLE for usability. Please
don't fall into the trap of trying to reduce "clutter" by sacrificing
usability. "Clutter" is NOT always a problem that needs to be fixed.
Sometimes you really do need it. There is a reason the menu bar is
always visible on Mac OS X. Apple does put a lot of effort into
usability.

Hiding it destroys most of the benefits of a global menu bar, rendering
it mostly useless. The fact that you can no longer aim at the entry you
need is a serious problem with this design.
