It doesn't make sense to me, if Unity were to use a global menu, and (in
theory for this discussion) to disable it for larger screens, but then imply

Sorry, what I meant by that was...
Say you are using an un-maximized window with the global menu disabled

On my netbook, and 1440x900 laptop, the global menu feels like a good

not a good fit at all. Wouldn't it make sense to just disable the global

The problem is that there are two (as I see it) external monitor work
flows we need to consider.
These use cases are designed from a mix of intuition, personal use,
physical observations of dual monitor users over the years, and from
reading discussions related to dual monitor behavior in various

John, can you take me through the design? I'm expecting at least some

Thanks MPT. I am offline so can't read the full diff to the spec, but I
think we will want to test the idea that there is some coupling between
the menu displayed on a screen, and the last app focused on that screen.
In other words, the menu might be different on different screens.

I was also wondering about this. I use dual screens and feel that
currently it is not efficient for me to have an application in the
second monitor which requires me to use menu's in the first. I really

implemented, should be
I think the idea of a second panel is better than a transient menubar.

A second panel would consume additional screen real estate that people
are plugging in a second monitor just to gain. It feels wasteful.

Philip, thank you for taking the trouble to do such comprehensive and
rigorous testing, and to write it up so clearly. It's a really useful
bit of analysis and feedback, which we will definitely factor into our
design and decision making.

I've attached a branch which is pretty much a quick hack. It's hard-
coded to check if the window is above/below 200px on the screen, which
is wrong but it gives you something to work from.

Yes, it updates dynamically.. kind of.
I have my WM set to resize opaquely, not using an outline or something,
so when I resize my window then the application actually receives
configure events and repaints the window. In this situation, if I raise
