Re: AppMenu design feedback

[Florian Scandella <flo chilicode com>]

+1 for removing AppMenu, it's very annoying when using multiple monitors.

As a temporary workaround theres a gsettings key:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides
'{"Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu": <int32 0>}'

But it adds a whole second menu to programms using the AppMenu with just
one entry (see totem).. a waste of space.
I think if there's need for an appmenu, the title bar would be a nice
place to put it (like firefox on windows). I opened a bug some time ago
about this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688105
