As far as I am aware, from memory, this was not done so that the
application's menus always start in the same place, thereby being
consistent, thereby making it quicker to find stuff.
With the ironic outcome that where with the Mac style we had to check the

+1 on this... the menu should never be hidden. It's very difficult and
unintuitive to hide it. The window title should just push it over... even
the "geniuses" designing OS X do it like that.

Why does the global menu hide at all? Hiding it doesn't save a lot of
space, and it an can quite annoying.

I think putting it either in the Dash or in the MeMenu makes the most
sense. I don't associate shutdown with settings at all, and almost every
time I go to shut down I still hit "System Settings" instead of "Shut
Down".

Still more: all the indicators on the top right corner. You click one and it
shows, click again and it hides. And this is how it should be.

Additionally, the Dash works exactly that way:
First click: show
Next click: hide
This works for all Dashes, the Ubuntu-Logo-Dash, the Applications-Dash
and the Files-and-Folders-Dash - why not for the other symbols on the
launcher?
So much for consistency.

What happens if you have a narrow window (GIMP, Empathy) stuck behind the
icons on the right? I think that's why Wingpanel's behavior was changed.

It was my understanding that the launcher icons only represent apps, and
since an app can't really be minimized (only windows of that app), they
don't do it. It works with Gnome 2 because the list was a list of windows.
It would be clicking on a Gnome 2 shortcut and having the windows of that
app
