> Windows 7 actually solves this problem best; I can move the task bar over to the right and have the full screen height for applications. I have done this -- moving the taskbar (in my case Gnome Panel) -- to the right for many years. I don't think this is not something of a Windows 7 innovation. > [...] moving the top bar in Ubuntu out of the way results in ugly, buggy wierdness. Please explain what you mean. As I said, I have done this for many years in Gnome, and it's just fine.

On my netbook I set the menu bar to hide and set it up to have the same height as the window title bar. This solves both problems (at least for me): a) no vertical screen clutter, b) no unfamilar menubar on the right screen border. I used to run gentoo w/ ratpoison which had an even better solution and dispersed with the panel altogether...
