Actually, I don't believe I'd ever seen the word written until I started
using "desktops" on Unix workstations. Weird.

ispell says this:

menubar
& menubar 33 0: menu bar, menu-bar, (then other totally unrelated
words)...

It does look weird to me, but I'm sure I look wierd to you... so it all
works out in the end. :)

What do the rest of ya think?

cheers,
