I was recently playing around with Ubuntu 11.04 (Ah, the last version of Ubuntu to use Gnome 2 in the background) and I noticed this:
As you can see its the "Unity" "File Edit View..." menu in GNOME 2. It's available as an indicator addon in 11.04.
Now what I'm asking is how do I get this integrated menu to the top bar in GNOME Fallback/Classic in Ubuntu 12.04? As it will be a great addition on my custom distro. Its also good for saving space on smaller screens like on my netbook. (Wink wink, nudge nudge. Hmm, maybe thats why he wants the answer)
It would also be nicer if it hid when the mouse isn't over it, but that's just a perk, but it would be nice ;)
I can confirm that the answer by tabakisp
works! Thank you tabakisp!
