When I say remove, I'm saying "remove": menubar and code ;)
People cannot reactivate it no more.

Hiding menubar by default is actually just an hack with kxmlguiwindow.
You need to create it and then hide it. And you can do this in your local 
settings with CTRL+M shortcut or "show menubar" action.
I'm saying to remove it from xml file and no more create it.

Font actions are needed because a lot of people asked for them from 0.0.4 
release. People seems using them a lot. Anyway, font descrease/increase size 
shortcuts are working pretty well now.

+1 from me. But I'm saying to add just 2 more menus there (font and help).
And that's all.


By the way, if we are not ok with this, we can postpone to next release.
