I tried installing freeciv-client-gtk 2.2.4-1ubuntu0.1 on my Natty live CD and (a) the global menu was correctly suppressed (launched from menus or command line, (b) I didn't see any regressions as far as I tested it (only a few minutes). I also sanity checked freeciv-server, freeciv-client-sdl, and freeciv-client-xaw. (To answer Karl's earlier question: I didn't see any menubar trouble with freeciv-xaw; I know this is a patched version, but I checked and Michael's patch only affects the Gtk client. In any case, freeciv-xaw is unfortunately broken in other ways.)
I installed by enabling universe and -proposed and installing the new package from clean, on the grounds that others are more likely to test the upgrade.

Oh dear! The symptom does not sound familiar. I'm not in a position to conveniently help track this down.
