[Rachel Greenham <682788@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If these comments reveal anything it's that different people want to 
work in different ways. Those of us whose other main machines are Macs 
want a permanently visible global menu; those whose other machines are 
Windows, or just came from earlier versions of Gnome, want menus 
attached to the windows, and a variety of other options - wow, people 
still do focus-follows-mouse? :-P

TBH I think most of the problem here has been the recent-years fetish 
with removing user preferences for this stuff; that's what makes the 
decision to go with the "wrong" paradigm as default a major PITA for 
already-competent users rather than a minor annoyance that's fixed 
within a minute or two of first logging into a new system.

Choose whatever default behaviour you want for the new-to-ubuntu user; 
but give the rest of us *choices*!

It's good to see that seems to be the way the current thinking is 
leading; I just hope we all get the choices we want. :-)
