Note: Menu feedback has been taken into consideration, and a set of menu
improvements are planned as part of the 12.10 'Enhanced Menu' project
(see bug description). This bug is already being used for tracking the
status of this project, so I am rolling all the bugs that will be fixed
by 'Enhanced Menu' project into this single bug.

Bug description:
Global menu in general (not only in Unity) is very unergonomic on
large screens (see the attached screenshot) because if you have a
small window somewhere near the low right corner you have to move the
cursor all the way up to to panel to reach the menu. I understand why
the global menu was used for the netbook edition (it saves space and
most windows are maximized), but since Unity is intended to be for the
desktop edition there should be an option to switch to the traditional
position of the app menu. It would be welcomed by many desktop users.
A commonly suggested solution is:
[ ] Global Menu on
[ ] Global Menu off
[ ] Global Menu only for maximized windows
The default is usually suggested as either the first (on) or last (on only
for maximized windows).
-------------------------------------
Desired change:
Implement the 'Enhanced Menu' project for 12.10.
The following options will be added to 'System Settings/Appearance':
-------
Menus
Location: Global/Local
Visibility: Hidden/Always displayed
-------
More details to follow during the 12.10 cycle... ;-)
