Actually, I'd hate such a behavior. It's only relatively recently
(maybe a couple years) that I discovered the minibuffer menus, where
I tested Emacs in a non-separate-minibuffer-frame setting and found the
menu-bar switching just inconvenient.
I mean, really, all that menu-bar-switching for what?
3 miserable commands?
