It is the same test. Charline's post is largely about comparing Unity in
Natty with Unity in Maverick, whereas my message was mainly about
summarizing task completion in Natty.

However, Charline does mention the menu issue briefly in her post: "When
participants had many windows opened, they did not understand that the
bar corresponded to the selected window."

And one of the quotes she includes is from one of the people who
concluded that menus were available only for maximized windows: "I
didn’t like when I have things minimised. There are many things I can’t
do without maximising the screen." (Both Charline and the test
participants often used the word "minimised" to refer to unmaximized
windows.)
