Change the behavior of the 11.10 menu bar?

[IQAndreas]

The way the "menu bar" for individual applications works in 11.04 and 11.10 seems very counter-intuitive to me (perhaps because I have never been a MAC user.

I want the menu bar to behave in a manner summed up in this image:

• The top "menu bar" belongs to the topmost fullscreen application (in the example, Chrome) if there is one available.
• If a running application is not fullscreen (in the example, GEdit), it will have its own menu bar which becomes visible when you hover over its "window bar".
• Clicking the top menu bar will bring you to the topmost fullscreen application (in the example, Chrome) just as if you had clicked anywhere inside the application's fullscreen window.

Are there any settings that can be tweaked or any extensions that allow such behavior?

Also, what is the name of the program I want to modify the behavior of? Gnome? XOrg? Compiz? I don't quite understand where the line between those software packages is.

I also would like to know this, I made a post earlier about this but received no reply's.

Edit: I actually just stumbled across this which did what I wanted it to do, http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481...plication-menu. Just run this

sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu

then log out and log back in, hope this helps.

Thank you JaredSi! Uninstalling "indicator-appmenu" worked like a charm.

I just wish clicking the "top bar" would still bring you to the current fullscreen application, but oh well, it's good enough as it is.
