I just installed Appmenu and I still don't know why this is happening. So I forwarded this bug to the Appmenu project in the hopes they can point me in the right direction.

So, to summarize for them, here is what's happening:

1) Make sure Appmenu is installed
2) Make sure Appmenu is *not* on the panel
3) Add Cardapio to the panel

- result: All good. You can see the Cardapio applet just fine.

4) Now add Appmenu to the panel

- result: Appmenu appears in the panel, but Cardapio disappears. Note that Cardapio is still running, though, as you can see by summoning it with the shortcut key Windows+Space

5) Remove Appmenu from panel

- result: Cardapio is back!

Here's what seems to be happening: The Cardapio applet is actually a GtkMenubar with a GtkImageMenuItem inside of it, and Appmenu seems to hide all GtkMenubars, including of course Cardapio's.

So my question is: Is there anything in the Appmenu API that can be used by Cardapio to make sure its menus *aren't* hidden?
