I suggested this a while back ( https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg06884.html) and got a slightly warm response.I went ahead and made a patch to unity that puts the bar on top.(see mockup) I mailed the diff to the ayatana-dev mailling list but have got no response till now. I've attached a screen shot and the diff.
