What would be great is not using the squeak menu inside the world, but drawing it on the system window. More like mac's, that is integrated in the global menu.
In Linux there is a GlobalMenuApplet for Gnome Panels that works like mac's Global Menu, and removes the menu from the windows and merges on the pannel. It's a nice advance to a mac interface. (That and CairoDock, of course)
I don't have a clue about how to do it, but dreaming is free. :)
Cheers,
Mariano.

On a side note, there's another small thing which has been bothering me is
that even though I really like the Mac theme and look and feel the
Red/Yellow/Green Close/Min/Max buttons don't indicate which one is which on
a mouse-over so you need to know which color does what. �I liked the windows
button I saw in one of the Smalltalk Medicine Show video's. �It still had a
nice look-n-feel but the icons actually had more meaning.
