I just got my first hands on look at Unity 2D. One thing we noticed is that the application menus now live in the taskbar? Is there any way to change this? I'm assuming most developers and power users use point to focus, as we do. Having the menu in the taskbar creates a unique problem for point to focus users; namely suppose I have a firefox window with a terminal just above the browser. If I move the mouse up to, say, add a bookmark, the mouse pointer passes through the terminal window and focus shifts to the terminal before I can ever get to the firefox menu. I think I can set a time delay for point to focus, but this is most inconvenient when I'm bouncing back and forth between 2 terminals on the same screen.
Are KDE 4.x, gnome 3, and Unity a message to command line users that our time has come and we should shuffle off to the nearest available nursing home, receiving a complimentary iPad to enjoy while sitting in the rocking chair?
