I would be more worried about the interaction.

Menus usually are open until you select something. If still true, you
would need to traverse the very long path from clicking the menubar to
the embedded window for every setting you are planning to change. If
not true, you'll have a window that is exactly like the dialog except
it has a big extension and you can't move it.

I'd also like to see this in action on a 800x600 screen, that'd be
interesting ;)
