As the Mac-style menubar is likely to take some time,
it might be a good idea to look at renaming the "Menu
Bar" in the interim (or in fact, just *naming* it).
It's regularly a pain to refer to in documentation,
and it's not very clear in the Add to Panel dialog
either.
"Panel menubar" is the best suggestion so far, that I
have adopted in the User Guide, but it's not very
descriptive for the Add to Panel dialog.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.

Yes, there is an ugly inconsistency between that and
Nautilus's built-in search.
(I do actually use that menu to open nautilus folders
quickly. But having to click on a bit of desktop first
to make it available is hardly a great cost.)
