My .emacs includes
(menu-bar-mode -1)
which leaves the menu-bar hidden by default. Rather than have it pop up
again when I want to see it, I use 'M-`' (i.e., meta and backtick
pressed together). This provides a quick and temporary text-version of
the menu-bar which has the benefit of not requiring a mouse to use.

This is beyond the realm of emacs I think, and requires a suitable
window manager. I use fluxbox, which provides a mechanism for toggling
the window decorations through the config files. I have the following in
my ~/.fluxbox/keys file:
Mod4 d :ToggleDecor
The result is that pressing Super-d toggles the max/min/close and title
bar on and off. Maybe Gnome and KDE have similar options, I don't know.
Cheers,
Tyler
