Another solution:

* The menu and title in the panel always refer to the topmost maximised window.
* For non-maximised windows, the menu lives in the window's title bar.
* If there is no maximised window, the panel shows whatever it would
for a clear desktop.

This maintains a logical connection between a window and its title and
menus. It avoids showing one window's title in two places.

The downside is that menus for non-maximised windows are no longer at
the screen edge, so take longer to acquire and click. This is *not* a
regression versus Ubuntu 10.10's Gnome 2 desktop.
