[Bug 1071355] [NEW] Design Error

[John Winterton]

Public bug reported:

The importing of application menus to the desktop panel is not working
well.  I have tolerated this since this desktop first came out in the
2010 time frame, but now I have sufficient experience with it to state
categorically that this is a major mistake.

Description:	Ubuntu 12.10
Release:	12.10
ubuntu-desktop:
  Installed: 1.287
  Candidate: 1.287
  Version table:
 *** 1.287 0
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

There are too many mouse clicks and motions from the application window
to get to the application menu, which does not always show.  The saving
of a extra line on the screen is a trivial reason for all this code as
well.

I have no idea who the design team is on this product, but I strongly
suggest that this feature be reviewed and dropped in the next release.
After over a year of using it, I can only categorize it as a damned
nuisance.

The time has come to return the menu bar to the application window
frame.
