In the GNOME bugzilla, there is an
ongoing discussion about whether or not to include a patch into the default GNOME installation which would enable GNOME to (
optionally) have a global application menubar, similar to that of the Mac OS and KDE (in the latter it is optional and off by default). Installation instructions and .deb packages, as well as a 60-page (and counting) discussion of the patch, are
available on the UbuntuForums. Read on for a poll on this issue.
