To be fair, I a) didn't follow this discussion, b) don't think you should do 
that and c) "highlighting" not visible menu-items for "attention" isn't really 
good human interface design, where as combining the titlebar with more stuff 
might work out okay.

And I got you thinking not only about "cool design" but also about usability, 
portability, standards and (most important) accessibility.

Have fun,

Arnold
