Would you consider a code contribution for this?  We could certainly test it on 
10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.  I'm not sure about older Mac OS's.

It's not so much the menu at the top of the screen, it's more the Dock (roughly 
equivalent to the Windows Task Bar), usually at the bottom of the screen, which 
contains shortcuts / launchers to commonly used applications.  Of course, it is 
possible to set the Dock to Auto-Hide in Mac OS X's System Preferences, but for 
some users, it can be confusing - if they want to launch Firefox on their 
remote desktop, they might accidentally launch Firefox on their local machine 
instead.

Cheers,
James
