After all an XML description of the user interface should be platform

Does anyone still have the patch by Daniel Patrick from Feb 2002?   I'd 
like to have a look at getting that working for myself atleast, coz I'm 
sick of these menu's popping up all over the place - I'd prefer things 
to be more consistent in that no matter what application I'm using the 
menu will always be at the top of the screen.
