I am going to bother you again with an issue that I want to sort out
for the next version.
Do we use the word "panel", "Top panel" or "Menu bar"?
Ubuntu Documentation (Help file) uses menu bar, e.g. click the sound
menu on the menu bar.
In our manual I see this:
\newglossaryentry{notification area}{name={notification area},
description={The notification area is an applet on the panel that
provides you with all sorts of information such as volume control,
the current song playing in Rhythmbox, your Internet connection
status and email status.}}
\newglossaryentry{panel}{name={panel}, description={A panel is a bar
that sits on the edge of your screen. It contains \glspl{applet}
which provide useful functions such as running programs, viewing the
time, or accessing the main menu.}}
Any suggestions?

I would stick with "panel", as I see that used, for example, in the
Ubuntu Forums. However, I would make several changes to the glossary
as follows:
\newglossaryentry{panel}{name={panel}, description={The panel is a bar
that stretches along the top edge of your screen. It contains
application menus (on the left, hidden until the mouse hovers over
them), and \glspl{applets} (on the right), which provide useful
functions such as the time, the network indicator, and the system
settings.}}
