I think a better approach would be to integrate the menubars into a HUD. Advantages:

• compatible with sloppy focus.
• more platform independent, won't break with a shell upgrade.
• consistent: some apps don't even have menubars, others fail to export theirs.
• doesn't affect shell performance, a big issue with Gnome's design.
• allows for a more powerful UI than a tiny strip at the edge of the screen.
• compatible with multiple monitors.
• compatible with huge monitors.
• doesn't require a top panel.

This is just a recommendation. I think a clickable HUD palette is a much promising area, especially after Gnome abandoned menubars.
