Notice that in order to see the 'File, Edit, etc' in the Unity version
you need to move your mouse to the top taskbar; i.e., the menubar is
auto hidden. I suspect that is a 'feature' from netbooks where Unity/UNR
was intended to save space on a limited screen. I prefer an option
whereby I can configure the autohide/minimize taskbar myself (Gnome2).
