Agreed - that was one of the first things I killed:

sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt

Just reverse that to put it back if you really miss the stupid mac-like behavior. Biggest reason for me to be rid of it is I can't spawn unity menus on each framebuffer set, so nothing on my second monitor set had menus... Brilliant!

This was a good find for making oneiric suck less:

I just started using 11.10 and Unity and the only thing I find annoying
is hiding the File, Edit, etc menu and minimize, close buttons until you
hover over them....and that I needed to know ctrl-alt-t opens a terminal...

    Correct, though those came long after it'd already nauseated me the
    first time.  When I needed to compile everything I needed anyways,
    slack was a much better option - in 1999.

    Fast forward to 2007, the last time I purposely had to deal with
    RHEL, my experiences were not all that dissimilar.  Much of the
    software I use is of a network monitoring nature (snmp, perl,
    pgsql), and for better or worse a lot of dependencies that simply
    didn't exist in repos.  I ended up having to compile a lot of
    things, and still fell into weird linking errors to things that were
    simply never an issue in ubuntu whether I had to roll my own or not.
      It was just as cranky as it was 7 years prior.

    Perhaps I'm a bit grizzled and stubborn, but I really don't get why
    I or my companies should use RH or its ilk.  It's always felt...
    solaris-ish - day late, dollar short.  With ubuntu on the poop list
    these days too, I need to rediscover new/old options so maybe I'll
    see what the rpm loving world has to offer these days.

        Ahem. 1995 called, they want their FUD back. Package
        dependencies has
        not been a problem since up2date first, and now yum.
