Global menu?

Hello.

I have an issue where certain webpages will completely fill the panel with text obscuring the system tray and clock.
I decided to remove the global menu widget.
This however only removes partly.
I am left with the app name in the panel but no settings for the app - in either the panel or header of the window.

How can I remove the global menu completely and have the settings return to the application?

Thanks. Changing that setting in the kwinrc file and rebooting did not work though. The behaviour remains unchanged.

Update: After removing the window title this did remove the overlap from the browser - but Kmail still does not have a menu bar.
I tired control + M and also control + shift + m
I also tried:
editing ~/.config/kontactrc In there is a section called [MainWindowkontact_kmailplugin]. "In that Section I found “MenuBar=Disabled” I changed it to “MenuBar=Enabled”

My compromise was to leave the Global Menu widget in place but remove the Window Title widget.
This way I could still have the settings for Kmail present, albeit in the panel, but the text from the browser in the title bar.
