Well, at least "fixing" the global menus in Unity (i.e., killing them and forcing the menus back onto the application window instead) wound up being easy.

That takes care of the most annoying issue with Unity -- all the mouse-chasing with apps that don't (or can't) have keyboard shortcuts for common menu items.
It still says something that my current wallpaper is a list of Unity keyboard shortcuts ... best way to learn 'em, though.
