It is not objections :)

Yes it must not be a big menu.

Yes this is  good for a short term.
For a long term we have two paths:
- hide the global menu by default and make it easily accessible for full features.
- hide the global menu  by default and make it not needed because simple features are accessible in a more intuitive way than shortcuts or menus.

For software with many actions (like konqueror, koffice) I prefer the first path.
For software with limited actions such as a web browser, I prefer the second.
