With nemo-desktop it spams syslog

[Zippy Zebu]

Whenever I click desktop, it continuously posts messages to syslog

 window_menu_model_new: assertion 'BAMF_IS_APPLICATION(app)' failed
 track_menus: assertion 'IS_WINDOW_MENU(menus)' failed

I am using Ubuntu 19.04 Ubuntu Unity session.

Actually it's nor really related to nemo, it's happening since the split of nautilus-desktop as a separate binary from nautilus. Bamf somehow not considering desktop window as valid bamf window (see https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wz32KF7Kqx/). As a result when indicator-appmenu tries to track menu it fails. We could just simply ignore tracking menus for desktop_windows for now.

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-appmenu - 15.02.0+20.10.20200617.2-0ubuntu1

  * Depend on bamfdaemon, it is needed to fetch windows paths. (LP:
