Ahah!  Yes that is exactly it.

You mac loving GUI designers please take note ... without the global
context-sensitive menu bar (which personally I think is a great idea,
AmigaOS had one too) you need to chuck on menu bars (and these days tool
bars) and other crap which clutter the ui, but is still necessary,
otherwise you end up with a non-functional app that is hard to use (even
if its 'simple').
