The idea to hide menu just with Ctrl+M works very well. The option to have a
context menu with "show menubar" when right clickin is annoing as it adds one
entry to context menu.

Example Konqueror and Dolphin has this annoing way as it adds it to first
choise to context menu. I use lots of context menu in Dolphin and I always keep
Dolphin without menu. So the entry there is just taking space and adding to me
a possibility to mistakenly press it as it is top of "Create new >".

So if wanted to do well, the "Show menubar" should be moved to top of
"properties". In konqueror it should be then the last one. 

But best really would be a global setting in System Settings to enable the
feature. Two options. To have just the Ctrl+M function or the Settings > Hide
Menubar + Ctrl+M -function. And then have a setting to apply it by default to
all applications so you do not need to press Ctrl+M everytime you start a
application first time.

The Ctrl+M could as well be changed as Ctrl+Alt+M so there is no possibility by
mistake to press it. The Amarok 2 looks better when menu hided. Amarok
developers just should improve the GUI so you could get few important functions
accessible without menu. Now only few menu entries takes so littlle actual
space, but adds empty space and clutter the UI. Ctrl+M fixes that very well.

The future is UI's without menu. With customized toolbar, shortcuts and
menubar.
