Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources The KCM allows me to chose (radiobuttons) from either the desktop menu or the current application menubar. Unfortunately the 'current application menu bar' setting will show the desktop-menu bar when no application, or applications that don't have a menubar are active. I would expect that the KCM would then have the 'Desktop menubar' as a checkbox to allow me to have no menubar on screen if I don't want any. To reproduce; select the 'current application's menu bar (Mac OS-style)' radio button and press Apply. create a konsole and make sure the menu is set to be invisible. As long as konsole is active it shows the desktop menu bar. This is unwanted.
Yeah - I also see that problem! I'd like to be able to chose the MacOS-style for KDE-Apps (with a correct menu bar), but I'm not interested in a besktop menu bar. Even more using non-KDE programs (especially maximized) it's quite uncomfortable having the desktop menu bar at the top and the normal menu bar inside the (maximized) window. In my view the correct solution would be to split up the current 3 alternative Options of "Menu Bar at Top of Screen" into 2 checkboxes: 1. "Menu Bar at Top of Screen" (if not: show menu bar inside windows) 2. "Show Desktop menu bar" (if not: never show a menu bar) I wouldn't underestimate these points since the MacOS-style menu bar is a great feature, but lots of people are using non-kde apps and get this ugly behavior when chosing the Mac-style.

You may want to manually change the setting again in order to update the config file.
