I think the Windows menu bar should be a separate object in the window, 
that is not attached to the "content" area.  This would mean that a 
window was comprised of the window titlebar (on Mac and PC), the window 
menu bar (on PC only), and the window content area (on Mac and PC).

The current hidden group implementation is fraught with problems.  For 
example, I want to change the font to something larger than the 
default, but I don't dare for fear of doing something that will never 
be correctable.
