Comment 6 for bug 879110

I can see the value of a global application menu, and I absolutely like the idea. However, I want to be able to see it all the time. When I'm using my touchpad it is very difficult to use the menu.... Alt fixes this to some extent. but with nested menus (menu->submenu), it is very uncomfortable (e.g. firefox video downloadhelper), as the user can easily navigate off some sub-menu, and then the whole process has to start anew.
I would very much like to have an option to make the global menu visible by default!
Thank you for your time!
