Ugh. I loathe global menus, but I don't want a menubar on my terminal.

Could we maybe just have a dialog box pop up when you uncheck "show menu
bar" explaining that if you remove the menu, you'll have to get it back
by alt-clicking, or running something in the command line, or whatever?

I think it's safe to assume that if a user wants a terminal and doesn't
want a menu bar, that we can probably relax the "usability requirements"
a little. This might not be the best approach for, say, Evolution, but
this is the terminal. If you want to muck around in the terminal, you'd
better know what you're doing anyway.

Title:
  View->Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal

Status in “appmenu-gtk” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  If you click on the global menus the View->Show MenuBar and (un)check
  it, it won't work, the menu will stay at the 'global menus panel' or
  whatever it is. In my opinion this option shouldn't exist now,
  considering that global menus are the future, and also considering
  that a global menu has the advantage not to keep its own space on the
  screen  :)

  WORKAROUND:
  1. sudo apt-get purge appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3
  2. Logout
  3. Login
