I don't know what you mean by "maximize to panel". As for the global
menu, patches for that are heading upstream for Firefox, Thunderbird,
and LibreOffice 3.4.
I don't mean the global menu but the way the maximized window and the
top-panel get merged. Imo this is a sign that the top-panel has no use
anymore..

That would mean things like the time, volume, and battery status would
be invisible much of the time, and would take up much of the launcher
when they were visible. It would be the worst of both worlds.
With sound menu I meant the way you can control you music player via
indicators. It would be way more straightforward if one could control
the music player via a jumplist (=right-click-menu).
Well, you're right some indicators are still needed like the battery or
network indicator, but this doesn't justify a whole top panel in my
opinion. We could move the indicator area into the dash or even better
use something like the once proposed wingpanel:

My problem with the current situation is that a lot of functionality is
duplicated. Empathy for example indicates new messages on the dash and
also in the messaging-indicator...
greetings,
Kai
