This is not true.

In order for other applications' menus to disappear, a window in the current
application must become active. Until a window becomes active, the last
application's windows stay visible.

This is easily noticeable by starting Ink from GWorkspace. Ink starts up, and
GWorkspace's menus do not disappear. Create a new document; the blank text
window appears, and GWorkspace's menus vanish.
