When using gnome-shell (that has no global menu), the menus are hidden and totally unreachable. The only solution I found is to remove appmenu-gtk, appmenu-gtk3 and appmenu-qt.
In my opinion, libappmenu should detect whether global menus are enable (i.e. whether unity is active) and act consequently.
This is a big usability problem for people who want to give Gnome Shell a try (and probably other DEs too). I tried to "dpkg -l | grep globalmenu", but this gave no relevant results obviously. I had to use strace to detect that the problem was in appmenu-*, and this is something that the average user cannot do. |
