There is no handle at all in menubars, so this is now a moot point.

This was suggested and rejected as it is inconsistent.  If you drag a
menubar from *one* app to a screen mode menubar, then it affects *all*
apps.  It should never be possible for one app to affect all other
ones.

And if it *didn't* affect all other ones, it would be horribly
inconsistent.

Tear-off menus are there for KDE2.  They are just disabled by default.
