Hi,
yes I absolutely agree with you that is for 12.04 to radical but in 
generally with HUD you have the possibility.
I think it is important that the users have both possibilities. HUD 
command search and traditional menu (only a other view).
I created a small picture how I imagine this.

Sorry for the bad quality but I'm no gimp genius.

regards,
