I'm pretty sure there's no way to do this directly/simply (i.e. just as
declarations in :MENU-BAR clause of the frame definition) after all, it's
not the motif standard.   ;)

To do what you want to do basically you have to make your own menu-bar
pane.  You can then position it whereever you want it.  (You also need to
handle the command table yourself.)

E.g. use a clause like the following in your :PANES declaration:

  (MENU-BAR (clim:make-pane 'clim:menu-bar
                            :command-table 'my-menu-bar-command-table
			    :text-style '(:fix :bold :large)
			    :background clim:+blue+
			    :foreground clim:+white+))

And then handle it as a regular pane in the appropriate :LAYOUTS clause.
