           Summary: Don't offer "Hide Menubar" for Mac OS style menu bar
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: maarten treewalker org


Version:           1.6.6 (using KDE 3.5.6 "release 19.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.2-34-default

The option "Hide Menubar" is very useful to maximize the amount of space available for the terminal contents when every window has its own menu bar. However, if the Mac OS style menu bar (single menu bar at the top of the screen) is used, there is no point in disabling the menu of Konsole, since the space it occupies cannot be used for something else.

Therefore, I think it would be better if the Konsole menu would always be visible when the user has the Mac OS style menu bar enabled. The "Hide Menubar" option could be either disabled or removed from the menu.

The first half of bug 15265 is very similar to this bug, but the second half (the actual bug) is a completely different issue which has been resolved, so I thought it would be confusing to reopen that bug report.
