Best Answer
To answer you directly - no its not "easy" for gnome-shell to have unity's global menu.
However, there is an alpha quality gnome-shell global unity patch available (patch below).
As to redisplaying the minimize-maximize and close decoration back-into gnome-shell - just use gconf-editor and change the key shown - note the position of the close - minimize - maximize buttons
Compile Gnome-Shell global menu
open GNOME Tweak Tool (install it in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
) and enable the Global Menu extensionNow open Dash and search for Startup Applications
Add an entry
gnome-globalmenu-manager
Complete the installation:
