Argh! Make my eyes stop bleeding :-)
I don't like the concept of using the top of the screen for a toolbar. IMHO the 
toolbar should belong to the window / app that's using it but I guess that's 
the same holy war as with menus. I would absolutely hate to lose the top x 
pixels of the screen for a toolbar that would even be *blank* (i.e. gray space) 
in a lot of cases.

I can't imagine how this toolbar thing would require a shared application 
menu/app.
