There are various other issues with having the file menu for a floating
window being located in the panel. The most obvious of which is that
it's completely unintuitive because one would logically expect that the
panel should control the window that it appears to be visibly connected
to (the top-most maximised window).

I would like to suggest that the file menu for floating windows be re-
located into a "windicator", thereby allowing the maximised window to
always have it's file menu located in the panel. This would also allow
it to always have it's window controls visible as there would no longer
be any confusion about which window's file menu is in the panel.

Perhaps the maximised window can also have a windicator as it's file
menu, for the sake of consistency, but located on the left side, next to
the window controls, as opposed to the right side.
