I agree with the idea of less wasted space. So putting in the global
menu into the desktop for maximized apps is a good idea. If its a huge
screen its a lot easier to throw your mouse up to the top of the screen
than go for the menu bar in the app I think. It might be slightly
further but it requires about the same effort or even less maybe because
you are just throwing your mouse to the top without thinking about where
its actually landing.
