Ok. May be the global menu behavior is ok. But I do not really agree
with problem (2).

It doesn't show any window title which makes things difficult to
identify menu for a particular window when many windows are open on a
single work-space. I have to bring a window to focus to make sure I am
accessing menu for that particular window.

It becomes more pronounce in zesty as Ubuntu stopped patching gnome-apps
for horizontal menu. And we are left with single vertical menu.

Of course I can determine who's menu it is by peeking at the menu
itself, but it takes little extra time I don't want waste even that bit
in a rigid work environment.

Title:
  Indicator-applet-appmenu should only reveal itself on mouse over in
  Gnome-Flashback (Zesty)

Status in Indicator Applet:
  New
Status in indicator-applet package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The behavior of appmenu-applet or global-menu in Unity & in Gnome-
  Flashback is quite different.

  On Unity,

  1. It hides (shows window-title) normally & only reveals itself on
  mouse-over. This keeps panel tidy & distraction free.

  On Gnome-Flashback (Gnome-Panel),

  1. The appmenu is visible all the time
  2. Doesn't show window-title

  As both of them belongs to same package the behavior should be same
  for any other desktop-shells as well unless it hampers critical
  functionality.
