Ugh. I loathe global menus, but I don't want a menubar on my terminal. Could we maybe just have a dialog box pop up when you uncheck "show menu bar" explaining that if you remove the menu, you'll have to get it back by alt-clicking, or running something in the command line, or whatever?
I think it's safe to assume that if a user wants a terminal and doesn't want a menu bar, that we can probably relax the "usability requirements" a little. This might not be the best approach for, say, Evolution, but this is the terminal. If you want to muck around in the terminal, you'd better know what you're doing anyway.

In my opinion this option shouldn't exist now, considering that global menus are the future, and also considering that a global menu has the advantage not to keep its own space on the screen :) WORKAROUND: 1. sudo apt-get purge appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 2.
