Unity 2D works the same on my PPC and x64 computers: hover anywhere over the ubuntu button and the menus show. On 3D the edge and top left corner work properly depending on the setting. On PPC I can't test 3D obviously :-/
It would make sense for 2D and 3D to have as many similarities as possible, maybe even to both read the setting registered by System Settings / Launcher and Menus, which is clearly only used by 3D at the moment.
FWIW I prefer the way the 2D menu works, but the 3D way is more similar to other OSs
