I guess, I encountered a problem, closely related to this bug. I use KDE
hence no unity or gnome launched. Since I upgraded to saucy, chromium
got a one-pixel menu bar at the very top of the window. If I use system
window border, it is invisible (because it has the same  color as my
border), but still active. If I use chromium window border, I can see a
one-pixel line just above the window. In both cases this menu is
clickable, I mean, if I click in some correct place in the left side of
this bar, a menu appears, and by using keyboard arrows or by moving
mouse left or right I can explore this menu — File, View, Bookmarks…
just a regular menu.

The terrible thing is: I cannot move my mouse to the top of the screen,
taking care only about its horizontal position, I have to bump the top
of the screen, then carefully move the mouse some pixels down, and then
click on the tab to show or close it (middle mouse button). So, the idea
of chromium's developers to gain infinite height (in terms of Fitts's
law) for the tabs is buried, since useless one-pixel menu resides on the
screen.

Is it possible to uninstall some package to get rid of this menu since I
do not use GNOME or unity?

Nevertheless, it seems much like a bug for me&friends, since it appeared
after just `apt-get dist-upgrade` and not some `apt-get install`.

Title:
  chromium menu bar for unity needs reimplementing

Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The global menu bar in Chromium is already a hack for Unity. It
  implements its Unity menu bar by creating an invisible GtkMenuBar and
  adding it to the widget hierarchy. The appropriate fix is to export a
  GMenuModel and not create the GtkMenuBar at all.
