Such as disabling it, or only enabling it for fully maximized windows. Here are two user stories with three scenarios: Pete mostly uses his netbook and really likes the way the global menu is integrated and saves him the much needed vertical space, but when he is working at his desktop, he finds himself constantly moving his mouse to the top of his screen to access the application's menu. Pete wishes there was a setting that would allow him to turn off the global menu for non-maximized applications that would still integrate the menu for applications that are fully maximized. John on the other hand, is a traditionalist. He most commonly works with multiple terminals and finds that the global menu just gets in his way. He also dislikes how the menu becomes hidden by default. Currently, the first thing he does after a fresh install, is remove the 'indicator-appmenu' package in order to completely remove the global menu from his install. John wishes there was a way to simply disable the global menu without having to remove a system package that could potentially cause a dependency issue later down the road.
