On the Gnome whiteboard page it lists as a disadvantage of menu buttons 
"Could be difficult to find a consistent location for these in windows".

I disagree. To me the logical placement of an app menu button is between 
the window control buttons (maximize, et al) and the window title, in 
the window title bar (whether that title bar is rendered in the 
traditional manner, or merged to a horizontal panel in Unity).
