No. If that was the case, then I would certainly argue against it,
for precisely the reason you mention. The global menu is hidden
until you either move the mouse pointer to it or ask for it to be
displayed by pressing the alt key. That's how it is and that's how
I'm so hoping it'll stay. I think it's a huge enhancement.

Whenever I see a menu bar containing a file menu that only
contains the item "Exit", my heart screams: release me! :)
