This is a different problem: It is "the application still runs,
although it doesn't display any windows."

Nevertheless, having the MacOS menubar as a default leads to
inconsitencies when using non-KDE apps. So I doubt if it is a
good idea to make it the default (although I like the idea and
agree with the points).
