The first thing I did was remove the global menu. I have a 22" monitor and hardly ever use maximized windows.  When working with multiple windows, it's a lot of unnecessary travelling between bringing a window into focus and then getting to the menu. I originally came to Linux from Mac and the non-global menus was like a breath of fresh air.  That's just my opinion though. Maybe most people prefer it.

Oh, I really like the global menu... in fact I wish it was there for all and not just some apps. Use an app switcher &/or window switcher keyboard shorty to bring windows into focus. It's quicker...
