Yeah, I know. Ok, I should have been more precise. With "reachable" I
meant "easily accesible". The menubar is there, visible, in a standard
location and with a standard representation, and all the power of the
application is there.

Hiding the menubar is like making the toolbars be popups, just because
you reduce the number of items in the screen. I think it does not make
the interface be clearer. More on the contrary, hide the menubar means
you need to find it when you need it. I'm not saying I won't be able
to find it, but looks more intuitive to me if it is always there. In
fact, the first time I saw Iñaki's work, I thought the locked menu was
part of the title window.

Btw, I don't want Iñaki to think I don't like his work. I think it's
great. I have just a pair of comments because sometimes I am too
Macish :)

Cheers,

Fran.
