Sure. There are plenty of ways to compress both the app name and menus next to each other. I tend to agree with Jean-Yves that global menus are not good. I always found it very non-intuitive to pull the menus away from the window it controls. When you have a few windows open, it takes noticeably more brainpower to constantly figure out what window has focus or what global menus apply to which window. I like Mac OSX, but that is the worst part of that UI, so it seems odd for Canonical to copy it. Simply making the menus expand/contract in the title bar seems like a great solution to me.
