Since you asked :)

Mandriva uses a two-panel layout, with the application menu, a couple of
launchers and applets at the top, and the taskbar + pager on the bottom.

I'm not sure this is the default layout but I guess it is. 
As another data point, OS/2 Warp 4 and its successors have a menu bar at
the top of the screen, not unlike the GNOME panel.
