Re: [Ayatana] Making menus easier to find

Jeremy, it's been asked numerous times because it is what users want and what Canonical ignores. That ~should~ tell you something.
And yes, this kind of thing is far more visible than whatever else Canonical employees and Ubuntu volunteers are working on right now. Whatever the merits of everything else, this is the outer packaging. That's just the way it is.

I think that for new users having the menus hidden until mouse over by
default is not necessarily a preferential option. Could the menus be
shown by default (window title in the middle), with the option to change
back to the current behaviour?

Also, an option (this time not default) to place the menus in the
title-bar of the application would be nice. For restored windows the
window title would then be right aligned.

This general question has been asked numerous times and the answer has
been WONTFIX. The reason is that window titles can often be very long
and not everyone has a large screen like you do. Personally I have a
1280x800 screen but we also want to support 1024x600 screens.

Try uninstalling indicator-appmenu* if you want traditional always
visible menus.
