Re: [Ayatana] Unity, menus and large screens



I completely agree.  I have a UDS blueprint for this:

Not sure when it has been scheduled for, will note here later.

I wish that option B here would be the default for Unity since it's so annoying when having to move the mouse all the way to the top panel to get to the menu.

Don't think so. Here's a collection of the most common but not
specific to Unity. That would require an update to the documentation.

I don't know of a workaround for A). I've asked repeatedly in
different places and got no answer so far.
However for B) there might be a way:
Putting the mentioned variable into ~/.bashrc makes it global for a
specific user. You could however put it into the .desktop file or
launcher* for all the apps you don't maximize. I know it's not ideal
but that's what we've got in terms of options right now.

* e.g for a .desktop file
Exec=bash -c "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 && gedit"

For the record: These are just dirty workarounds and just because they
are available doesn't mean I'm content with the status quo...
