Another issue to consider is whether or not we should capitalize any
of those terms.
Currently, the Ubuntu Manual capitalizes Launcher and Dash. The Ubuntu
docs at <http://help.ubuntu.com/> appear to be inconsistent in their
treatment.
Additionally, per the GNOME docs style guide, menubar should be one
word, not two:
<http://developer.gnome.org/gdp-style-guide/2.32/gdp-style-guide.html#gnome-glossary-desktop>.

Interesting stuff!
In the doc team style guide,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide/StandardTerminology, I
also see "menubar", one word.
About capitalization: have a look at the Gnome style guide "panel":
* When the panel is a specific user interface component, then write
the term with an initial uppercase letter. For example, Menu Panel.
* When the panel is a type of user interface component, then write the
term according to normal text rules.
I find this pretty confusing.Besides, we should stick to Unity
terminology/spelling, unless we talk about the Gnome environment in our
manual. The word "panel" is not mentioned in the doc team style guide,
but I get the impression the style guide has not had an update for a
long time.
