I'm afraid I don't know anything about OSX.
My mail was just about global menubar itself for some reasons already
noticed here:
- when one has a dual head, having the main window of an application
  say in bottom right of the right screen, and the corresponding menubar
  in the top left of the left screen is all but practical
- as a maintainer, I already have seen the case where a user complained
  he was unable to do anything, just because the menubar of the application
  was not in the application window itself => two days or so to search
  why the menubar didn't display :(

I nonetheless agree that on a laptop, where windows are most of the time
maximized, this might give some gain of space.

I have so nothing against this being an option.

Regards
Pierre
