Hide and Seek! where did the menu bar go?
I turned off the menu bar only to be left wondering how to get it back
short of obliterating the config files.
A while ago I had the same problem, and the only solution was to go and hack 
the ~/.inkscape/preferences.xml:
<group
     id="window">
    <group
       id="menu"
       state="1" />
    <group
       id="toppanel"
       state="1" />
    <group
       id="toolbox"
       state="1" />
    <group
       id="statusbar"
       state="1" />
    <group
       id="rulers"
       state="1" />
    <group
       id="scrollbars"
       state="1" />
  </group>
This entry: <group id="menu" state="1" /> changes to <group id="menu" 
state="0" /> if you switch the menu off. So you have to change it back to 
state="1" if you want the menu to be back.
