Phillip,
open https://www.google.com/ fresh
then "refresh" it - the top bar disappears.
IE8 does not exhibit this odd behavior.
Hmmm, yeah. I can see it:
Open SM, go to Google.com -- black bar displays on top. On refreshing
(and subsequent visits to the page) the black bar does not display;
instead, the new cleaner look with the "app button" besides the login
button displays.
The bar displayed in Iron (which is like 99% Chrome), but only when I
was logged into my Google account (I prefer to be logged out of Google
most of time, so I keep a separate browser for checking Gmail and other
stuff that requires a Google account).
Firefox 24, IE10 and Opera 12.15 didn't display the black bar either.
Apparently Google decided to hide the black bar when users aren't
logged
in; for some reason, on first load on Seamonkey, it shows the old
layout.
My guess is some buggy code on Google's part, that takes a while to
load
the appropriate style sheet. Since it only happens to Seamonkey, it may
be related to browser sniffing. I notice that the behavior only happens
first time after SM loads, so Google may be setting some session
cookie.
Must be a Windows phenomenon. I am not seeing that with Mac OS.
I don't see any black bar to begin with. The Google home page should
be the simplest
page on the net and its not.

mess!
GW
Google.com stores a cookie that controls the blackbar vs ninedots.
Clear cookies (preferences or restart) and the blackbar reappears.
Confirm?
That would explain it. I am never going to allow Google to set cookies.
