Assuming that people would want to automatically be socially connected to
the Ubuntu community on boot could be a point of discontent I could imagine,
just saying.
The dividing of people into different communities sounds a lot like the
latest trend in social networking, stuff like Google+'s circle
I agree on all points, especially the frustration of not being able to
remove the global menu/top panel.
Still though, wouldn't something like what I proposed earlier

corner) work?

If you guys don't mind, would you make a full desktop-mockup of the ideas?
It's always nice to see how people see it fit into the greater whole. One
thing is how the indicators will

If you look at the mockup you'll see that the idea does not mess with the
indicators/tray-icons.
As for "always-visible-vs-menu-toggler", well, I just happen to like getting
rid of menus that go unused; consider it an extra feature, you wouldn't have
to use it, just keep the menus enabled.

Just my 0.02$ on Fitts's Law vs. Unity (some, if not all, have already been
put forth):
I don't think one can, with 100% accuracy, apply Fitts's Law to the
Unity-interface. Reason being that Fitts's Law deals with visible,
consistent interfaces that do not change. In Unity, when an application is

If the Global menu is made redundant by a menu-toggler, then there's no
reason to waste about 25x(x-resolution) of pixels drawing a panel that is
only used when an application is maximized. From a purely personal view I'd

Or have a menu-toggle-button next to the other window-controls (close,
maximize etc.) so the user can decide on a per-window-basis whether he wants
the menus visible or not.
I think auto-hiding menus would be bad since it's possible for a user to
want to retain an overview of available menus, even
I've been begging for this particular change too.
It makes more sense since vertical space is only an issue when you want it
(ie. when you maximize windows), so un-maximized windows have no use for the
global menu since, if they're un-maximized, they don't need the extra
vertical space to render p
