Pending more than 6 years.
If it doesn't happen with KDE 4, it will never happen.
The Oxygen team must look into this, it's both about usability and estetics.

This goes a lot deeper than Oxygen and even Usability.
It might require changes in Qt. I am not sure.

that's actually not a domain within which the oxygen project works.
while i'm all for simplified toolbars that highlight just the most used and critical items, shoving icons and menus into one big line is perhaps generally questionable =)
it could be one of those configurable things, i suppose, but it would require a fair amount of hacking. for how much benefit? *shrug*

For the benefit of at least 3 users on this thread alone.
You could do it in KDE 1, look at this:

At least 5 people.
At least with certain screen dimensions I like the MacOS style of having the menu bar at the top of the screen, but even then I have it on the same bar as the system tray, pager, shortcuts, etc.
Given a different screen size (here at work) I would like to toss the menu and toolbar on the same row.
Vertical screen real estate is in high demand on these wide screen displays...

heh ... not infinite; comensurate to participation, perhaps, and certainly within a reasonable distance to the origin. the biggest problem with me is i try and get rational argument and bit of big picture thinking into the mix. that sucks. it's much easier when you can line up 5 like minded people and bend the will of a project ;)

Actually this is about reading pages, documents, on screen like it was on paper.
I don't want any unnecessary bars or borders to obstruct my reading enjoyment.
Preferably I also would like to be able to move the window (paper) around on the
desktop by grabbing it anywhere on the page, holding down a mouse button.
Also move the page inside the window by holding down another mouse button. (Or chord)
Who would want a frigging stereo on top of his document? That's like having a
frigging laser on top of a shark, and who would want that? Dr Who? No! Dr No?
No, Dr Evil, thats who!

Fortunately for you both, it already provides you with all you need/want, then. I'm happy for you.
I suppose it's similar to me finding the keyboard switching globally or per application not even close to useful. But thankfully I do have the option for per-window. So I'm happy, and so is anyone who prefers a different configuration. (That option in the Keyboard Tool was, incidently, the deciding factor for me to choose KDE over Gnome when I first switched to Linux).
We all have our preferences, and by permitting one thing we don't need to limit another. So whether or not we ever get our wish, will in no way harm you or your preferred setup. :)
