I don't have a strong opinion on this, apart from indeed the fear some people
might lose their menubar (yet, as it's unbound by default, and refuses to hide
if unbound, it's probably not *that* risky -- but people are forgetful,
especially if they enabled that to try it out and stopped using it since then).
However, I think to be usable it should behave more like e.g. Firefox's hidden
menubar, that is still react to <kbd>F10</kbd>, or event better, menu menmonics.

Not sure how to do the mnemonics yet though (but I didn't try yet either).
