Yes, this is quite confusing. Particularly, because the menu bar does not
appear unless the cursor is actually above it. So, if you're looking for
the original menu, it's at the top, but you have to move the cursor there.
And this gets more confusing if you have two applications (or more)
running on the desktop. Only the menu of the active (focused) program
can be seen.

If this behaviour annoys you as much as it did me (and I'm not alone),
have a look at these pages:

(In fact, the original reason I investigated this problem, is that because
of the Unity-way, you can't have two menus in a program. It only shows the
first one)
