Hi Tina,

Regarding point #3, Tog once said that inconsistency can be your
friend in usability:
"It is just as important to be visually inconsistent when things must
act differently as it is to be visually consistent when things act the
same."

So, I think that justifies why the menubar slides down and the K menu
slides up. They are just 2 different things - one is for
application-specific commands, one is for launching applications and
actions; one is fixed, one is customizable and can be dragged.

Sok Ann
