Yes I understand that, but is it nautilus that manages the menus when
they are placed in the window manager header line?

Same point, is it firefox that manages the menus when they are placed in
the window manager header?

What is compiz?
I thought unity was the name of a version of the Ubuntu OS, is it also
the name of some piece of code?

This problem did indeed appear when I installed Unity.

The problem is associated with the movement of the menu bar from within
the application window into the header of the window manager. It is not
apparent from the outside how this GUI revision was implemented, hence
my confusion about the source of the problem. If the application was
just told the window address of the menu bar as being at the position of
the window manager header, then I blame Nautilus ( and my one occurrence
of Firefox error is a similar error inside Firefox, unlikely but possible).
If instead the menu logic in an application is revised to pass a-menu
data structure to the window manager and the window manager logic is
used I blame the window manager. I suppose by your reply that this more
complicated method of implementing the GUI is not in use and the prior
method is how this was implemented.

None the less, the bug is still displaying it's ugly head in Nautilus
from time to time. I have only seen it once in Firefox and that would
be with thousands of executions.

If I see it any where else I will let you know.
I did try for a couple hours to force it to happen so I could give you
the steps but I am still unable to generate on demand sorry.

If I can do any thing to help I will just ask.

Keep up the good work,
Karl
