Title:
  Design Error

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The importing of application menus to the desktop panel is not working
  well.  I have tolerated this since this desktop first came out in the
  2010 time frame, but now I have sufficient experience with it to state
  categorically that this is a major mistake.

  Description:	Ubuntu 12.10
  Release:	12.10
  ubuntu-desktop:
    Installed: 1.287
    Candidate: 1.287
    Version table:
   *** 1.287 0
          500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  There are too many mouse clicks and motions from the application
  window to get to the application menu, which does not always show.
  The saving of a extra line on the screen is a trivial reason for all
  this code as well.

  I have no idea who the design team is on this product, but I strongly
  suggest that this feature be reviewed and dropped in the next release.
  After over a year of using it, I can only categorize it as a damned
  nuisance.

  The time has come to return the menu bar to the application window
  frame.
