Does XFCE suffer with the Gnome3 affliction of having a top menu bar and a program menu bar underneath? I am left looking through a letter box at my software. Unity was good at this...Gnome3 is not

Nope! You can configure the bars as you like.

Indeed. Remember Gnome 2? It's pretty much like that.
