The new Gnome Shell Window metacity (not sure if this is the right terminology) http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Screenshot-2.png I'm sure I read a blog post about it too but I can't seem to find it . . .

Regardless if you have two instances of the same app open I don't see why it would be much of a problem, you would still be associating the menu with the application that you have open, unless you were repeatedly switching between applications, or unless you wanted to use the menu in the application window that is not in focus ( in which case it would require an extra click to focus the unfocused application so that you could access the menu)

Not really, the app menu should help avoid this sort of confusion, especially as there's a picture of the current focused application just to the left of it, which the name of the application written to the right of this picture, it would make sense to assume something just to the right of this is to do with the app menu / current focused application

Yeah but IMO it is hard to associate what window the menu is for
