Is there some configuration where the menu bar is a window?

That's not something to dismiss, surely.

My suggestion attempts to remove that confusion, I think.

They still should work, to avoid complications in applications.

No, but their glyph rows still have coordinates.

Why do we have to round, now that we have pixel-wise accuracy in
resizing windows and frames?

The only cases I know of are the TTY and non-toolkit X. Are there any
others? If not, these are special anyway, and could be handled
separately.
