Hello,

In the thread posted in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169250, there is a
post by Kevin Funk that says about amarok2: "the "hide menu" option was removed
due to a large number of users inadvertently hiding it and not knowing how to
restore it".

Well, sometime ago that happened to me in ark, i hide the menu bar, and didn't
know how to return it. So i undestand kevin.

The problem was that in the menubar there was an option to hide it, while, once
it was hidden, there wasn't an option to make it visible again. This doesn't
happen in konsole, foe example. Once is was made invisible, there is an option
to make visible again via right click.

So, i see two options to see this question:

1- An option to hide the menubar in menubar, but ALWAYS must be an option to
restore via right click
2- As the hide option may be a "power user" one, and confuse the user, make
this option doesn't appear anyway. The only way to hide it would be via Ctrl+M

I prefer the second one. Give the user the option to hide it. By default it
would be visible.

The option to hide the menubar, wouldn't be a global one: think koffice: i'd
work with the menubar visible.

Thanks
