To enhance the Global Menu further, I really love to see (is it possible?) window control + Global Menu on the Gnome Panel whenever a window is maximized so that we can optimize 4% more of the vertical space. I have made up a mockup to describe and share the idea with all ubuntu fan. It is a maximized GIMP window. Note that the window controls are on the Gnome Panel.

Re: Mac-style Menu Bar for GTK and Java/Swing applications!
Just wanted to ask: What is the current state of this? When is this going to get into Ubuntu? Why isn't it already? What are the current problems? How complicated is it to port this over to KDE applications? When is this going into Kubuntu? (KDE officially had such a feature already in KDE3 but that was not ported to KDE4 for some reason.)

Shuttleworth has a delusional sense of usability. That's why it will probably never go into Ubuntu unless he wants to continue and make it look like OS X even more.
That's all, really. It works great besides that.
Re: Mac-style Menu Bar for GTK and Java/Swing applications!
I'm not sure it should go into a base install. Too many users won't want to use it, and if it were part of a base *buntu I can already hear people scream and cry about how OSX-like Ubuntu is getting.
I wouldn't mind seeing it going into the official repos to make it easier for users to discover and use it, though.
Re: Mac-style Menu Bar for GTK and Java/Swing applications!
Going into base install is no problem if it is only an option somewhere which is disabled by default.

Hey guys, does nayone know a fix for this problem:
When I have Nautilus open, it shows as CD/DVD creator, not Nautilus. How to change it to its proper name?

Right click on menu applet, pick "edit menu", then edit the menu enntry for nautilus and change the name from "CD/DVD creator" to "File Manager" or whatever you want.

Guys whats the current state with Java apps? I'm a java hacker, is there anything I can do?
Re: Mac-style Menu Bar for GTK and Java/Swing applications!
Where can I report bugs for this? or feature requests? With the "Search box in switcher menu" option active, for ever key pressed 2 are shown. for instance, if i were to type firefox, it would come up as ffiirreeffooxx. It still registers as firefox, but it's not very visually appealing. Does anyone else think it would be nice to be able to "hide" applications from it? so you dont get applications that are incompatible with it showing up in the menu bar, or windows without menus, like gnome-session or covergloobus.py? :P
