"fix commited" is not the appropriate status when you have a feature request for one feature and implement a different one. I'd still like to see an option for having global menu for maximzed windows and a normal menu (not lim where i have to click an extra button to open the menu) for the non-maximized windows.

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).
