Bug Description

certain changes really need to go together... so i'd like the app to help out with sensible sets of changes (while still allowing individual tweaks, of course)

example UI themes:
   default --> reset to defaults (move this from the toolbar to a theme)
   unity-11.10 --> go back to previous behavior, whatever that was
   touch-screen --> -overlay-scrollbars, -autofocus, -autohide, ...
   small-screen --> +autohide, +overlay-scrollbars, ...
   mouse-focus --> +autofocus, autoraise=3, -globalmenus

why necessary: I like autofocus and autoraise... they go together...and if i want them, then I pretty much have to disable global menus because autofocus can change the menu before i reach the top of the screen if i pass over another window.

Possible fixes would be: global menus only for maximized apps, or global menu ignores focus changes for buried windows...

But, as it happens, i can't disable global menus at all within unsettings (filed as another bug), so my workaround was to just remove the packages that do it... 'sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt'
