Bug Description

appmenu-gtk hardcodes the list of applications that should not use the global menu. Adding and removing an application to/from the blacklist requires a rebuild.

This makes it hard to override for users that want to. For example, in bug #865389, people are hacking the binary to remove blacklisted applications. Also, temporarily modifying the blacklist is useful for testing.

Easiest solution is to save the blacklist in gsettings.

Replaced by unity-gtk-module which has a user-editable blacklist and whitelist.
