Hi List,


I for myself wouldn't want a OSX-Style menubar, because I have a kicker child
panel (or how is it called?) on top of the screen with the clock, ksysguard
graphs and ca. two dozens "quicklaunch"-Icons, because I like the main kicker
bar unclustered (it only contains the K menu, virtual desktop chooser, taskbar
and system tray).

I would have to change the setting after every installation (which is, I concur,
not very often... but still)

Since everything (well... nearly) in KDE is configurable, it is in fact quite
umimportant what the default settings are. But, as some ppl before me suggested,
more users are likely to switch from Windows to Unix/KDE than from Mac/OSX to
KDE, so the default setting should reflect that and stay by app-seperate menubars.

So far my .02

Tim
