I've wondered about this feature myself.  My temporary solution was to
write a plugin that hides the menu bar until mouse over, like the Start
bar used to be configurable in Windows.  I haven't had a chance to
update all of my plugins to the latest geany, but if you care to look at
the plugin, you can see it here

Alternatively, I thought the best idea would be a single icon, like
chrome's menu icon.  The problem is finding a place for it that doesn't
occupy an entire row or column of screen space.


When I implemented this in Mousepad, I just had it add a menu item to the right-click menu to allow turning it back on whenever the menu bar was hidden. The auto hide/show seems also like a good idea.

Cheers,
