All kinds of odd hacks are possible, and I am not looking forward to the bugs
that result from any such scenario.

I don't see any benefit of that, honestly. People who absolutely cannot live
without this can just patch the srpm and rebuild. The difference between
"add config option to spec file, rebuild" and 
"add patch to spec file, rebuild" is really marginal.

For any further discussion of global menubar patches, please refer to the
upstream bug on this patch.
