I thought it might be worth mentioning that as of yesterday we've got the final bits in place for application menu integration with Kubuntu Netbook (turned off panel autohiding by default). It isn't precisely the same as is planned for UNE, but it's built on the same technologies. I've blogged about it before: http://skitterman.wordpress.com/2010/07/08/global-menu-in-action-in-kubuntu- maverick/ and shown it working with GTK/Gnome apps (currently you'll have to install additional packages for this): http://skitterman.wordpress.com/2010/07/09/menubar-for-gtk-and-qtkde-apps-on- kubuntu/ There are, of course, some bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-menubar but it's coming along nicely.
