In my spare time, I'm working on creating a traditional windowed
application that will have a menubar. I find it important to integrate with
Unity, leading me to an important question: What behavior is the best to
adopt?
As I see it, there are three options:
1. I can have windows each have
Last that I've heard, the correct term is Menubar.

Hello!
I was about to implement a part of the new System Settings spec [1] when I
saw that it referred to the unity panel as the top bar.
But in a past cycle,
there should be restrictions on what users can
choose to install. That would take us down a very un-free Apple like path.
cheers,

To me, Unity is about hooking in and searching. You should be able to

Everything about the design needs to be thought out, not just 'integrate

It's very possible to write a Qt app that looks and feels fully native
in GNOME/Unity. And I believe Qt apps will look better outside of
GNOME than GTK ones will. Also there are a lot of good apps available
in KDE that may not be available elsewhere in Ubuntu (kdeedu is but
one example).
I recently say the post on OMG!Ubuntu! about the possibility of dark
toolbars being included for Oneiric and this sparked an interesting debate
among someone I know who I asked to draft his thoughts on the issue for post
to the Ayatana list for discussion. Here it is:

So, among the many changes for 11.04, I've noticed one particular change
that irks me to no end: Comboboxes have been switched to now have arrows
pointing both up and down (much as presented on Mac OS X I've been told) but
are still inconsistent about click behavior.
An example: Go to Power
Unity, as of my last checking, only uses fullscreen for above

to Desktop mode. I agree that it should be made available in CCSM,
though. Make the option readily usable instead of hidden away.

I've seen many calling for an aero-peek-like function to be brought
into Unity. I would like to say that by and large this is completely
unnecessary given that Unity's already present expo feature.* However
I do see that there is room for improvement in the implementation with
the addition of

Yes, but for the date and time indicator it is necessary to have text. You
can't hope to convey the time in an icon that small.
In that case, text becomes necessary to convey in the information
