Comment 2 for bug 1136344

The toggle indicator was added in trunk:
- Bug #819671 “No visual indication for grid and snap being on/off”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/819671>
and works as expected, also for states toggled with keyboard shortcuts, with the "normal" menubar (docked in the application window).

The issue reported here is related to the global application menu under Unity [1], and can affect other toggle states in menus, too, for example the 'Color-managed view' option:

- Not reproduced with X11 and Quartz-based builds on OS X 10.7.4 (without global menubar integration).
- Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48+devel r12137 and r12155 on Ubuntu 12.10
- Not reproduced on Ubuntu if launching inkscape from the terminal with global menu disabled:
  $ UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 inkscape
