Title:
  Menubar-related options in GNOME Terminal make no sense with a global
  menu bar

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  There are two options in GNOME Terminal that make no sense in Unity with the global menu bar:
  - View > Show Menubar
  - Edit > Profile Preferences > General > Show menubar by default

  Whether the menubar is "shown" or not, it is visible at the top of the
  screen when hovered over like any other globalised menu. When the
  menubar is "shown" you can hold Alt and press V to get to the View
  menu for instance, but when it is "hidden" the keystroke goes to the
  terminal. But you can always move your mouse up there and click on it.

  I can think of two solutions:
  - One is to hide those two options when there's a global menu present (can the user still access the menu with the keyboard, I wonder?)
  - The other is to just change the wording of the questions when there's a global menu available
