Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-appmenu
In natty alpha 1, GTK applications that are launched by double-clicking a file in the firefox download window don't use the global menu bar. So if I double-click a PDF in the downloads window, evince launches without global menu. Same thing happens with totem if I double-click an mp3 file (unless it's already running, in which case firefox uses the existing instance).
(Thanks to seb128 for the tip-off). This is probably down to the UBUNTU_
grep -r UBUNTU_MENUPROXY /etc/alternatives/
/etc/
/etc/
and which is created by 'firefox.postinst'.
(I'm still unclear what the preferred "holding package" for this bug would be).
Package: indicator-appmenu 0.0.13-0ubuntu4
SourcePackage: indicator-appmenu
Confirming this. Opening a PDF via Firefox, such as:
http:// www.fsilaw. com/%7E/ media/Files/ Publications/ IP_Media/ Assange% 20Skeleton% 20Argument% 2011_01_ 2011%20pdf. ashx
uses a different codepath to opening "evince ..." from the command-line. I cannot confirm whether this is related to handling by 'xdg-open/ gnome-open' because those load the PDF file in Inkscape at the moment...
