It would appear that Gnome upstream use a mixture of menubar and Menu 
Bar in the version of the user guide that was delivered with Feisty.

It's call "Menu Bar" in the "Add to Panel" dialogue.  This is what 
convinced me to go in the direction of "Menu Bar".  Also in Feisty Yelp, 
it's call "Menu Bar" in:
Using the Panels -> Introduction -> Top Edge Panel
Using the Panels -> Buttons -> Menus
Using the Panels -> Default Panel Objects
Using the Panels -> Default Panel Objects -> Menu Bar panel object

I'll go either way on this one, but I would like consistency. Personal 
preference is "Menu Bar".  Otherwise we would need to sort out the "Add 
to Panel" dialogue to bring in in line with the Gnome User Guide 
terminology.

Anyone else with strong opinions on which term should be used?
