Dolphin file manager did something like this, removing all the nice
menu entries at the top of the program and just having an access
button on the upper right corner that opens into a menu when needed.
I'm old fashioned and don't like radical change on my stuff, so I
prefer all the old menus right back up where they used to be. Luckily
they made it possible to restore the behavior I was used to by
enabling panels. I have no idea whether that's a standard, but it's
worth a look through all the options if you want to try and turn them
back on again.

I love this idea, and wish it was true for all the GUI parts of an
operating system so that we get to decide how everything looks and
acts. (:
