while interesting, this thing raises a little problem....non KDE apps 
are unaffected by this change, using only 1 non kde app (like the actual 
Openoffice, or mozilla family for example) makes an inconsistent user 
interface.
Florian's idea is good, but it's not so intuitive (I've stared at the 
demo a lot before I understood how to make the menubar reappear :-P)
probably the best option is having a better organized toolbar where the 
restore menubar button could appear when you hide the menubar by some mean.

Cheers

Luca
