I apologize for submitting this as a defect instead of a new feature. This is
the
first time I've used your issue software.

This is definitely interesting. I remember long time ago there were argunments
about
how global menu doesn't work with the focus following mode.
How many percent of people around you are actually still using a focus-following
desktop permamently? -- I mean on a regular daily basis.

I use it and a few of my friends use it; however, it's popularity amongst my
friends
is spreading because it increases productivity once you get use to it. With that
said, most people I know do not use it, so I would say about 20%.
Is it possible to have the global menu work only for the window on top? With
this
solution, it would work for both FFM and non-FFM configurations.
Thank you.

Another option could be to have an option to let globalmenu switch only after
the
first click in or on a window, and to not follow the window focus. But I like
the
option for the window on top, too. So perhaps three options:
- global menu follows focus (current behaviour)
- global menu for top window
- global menu at click
Needless to say, I am a fervent FFM user, <hist[oe]ric rant>been so ever since
my
first diskless Sun, and even use a FFM tool when (forced to) using MS
windows</hist[oe]ric rant>.
Finally, I'd be willing to try and find time to code this in. Where could I
start?
(I've tried compiling from git, but bailed out at installing vela from source.
Failed
compiling from tarball at 'libserver.la needed'.)

For what it's worth, I'm an FFM user as well. I just installed globalmenu,
and the way I'm planning to use it is via keybindings only.
I disabled the "Show the icon of the action window in the applet", and "Display
active application's name" options, then made sure "Enable the menu bar key"
option
was enabled.
So now, hitting F10 activates the application menubar shown by globalmenu. For
me,
this will probably be better than mousing over to get to the menubar anyway.
Overall, globalmenu looks really cool. Thanks for a neat piece of software!
