Heh :-)
However, it depends on whether you believe one of the main justifications for the global menu. By putting the menu at the top of the screen your menu becomes "infinitely high"; you don't need to aim your mouse, you can just throw it up the screen, since when it hits the top it will stop. If that's how it works then "electric fence syndrome" might not be such a problem.
