[OS X Emacs] Hiding menu bar without fullscreen

[David Reitter]

Hello Yang Guo,

applications running without a menu bar aren't really typical on OS X.
Emacs (and also Aquamacs) don't support this property, but we'll take  
this into account once we have a working Cocoa Aquamacs.   If you or  
somebody else supplied a patch, then I'd be happy to apply it.

For now, you can probably use mac-hide-menu-bar together with a mod of  
the function bound to the Apple Event that should be called when the  
application regains focus:

(defun aquamacs-de-iconify-some-frame (event)
   (interactive "e")
; no operation)

Hope that helps
- David
