Do you mean merging the existing menu with my app menu like for instance it
is the case for active documents? Otherwise are you suggesting that my apps
can display only toolbars? What if I have a lot of functions, menu bars are
more efficient to chunk large set of function than toolbars.

True, but this is OK if they say they do not want the status bar. So remove
the status bar from the list we already have one (I forgot it, sorry)
