Over time, applications targeting Ubuntu should be designed with the
global menu bar in mind. They will no longer have to artificially
constrain their set of menus to the minimum size of the window. And
because (modulo bug 732653) menus will be quicker to access, toolbars
can become simpler too, making interfaces in general more elegant.
For this reason -- and because, as Omer suggested, it would just be poor
taste -- it's inappropriate to offer a user-visible option to cram menus
inside the window again. Of course you are welcome to mess around with
libraries and uninstalling components and so on, but you're on your own
if you do.
Don't confuse this with an aversion to customization in general. I would
love to help out anyone who is interested in adding more customizability
to our screensaver settings, background picture settings, battery menu
settings, touchpad settings, and so on. There are many places where
customization is appropriate; this just isn't one of them.
Please report the vncserver problem as a separate bug, if it isn't
reported already.
