There is a fix, add this to the launch script (or ~/.bashrc and run the app from a terminal)

export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0

this is only a partial fix. in UNR the windows do get their menus with this.

but they don't get maximized automagically by maximus, and when they are manually maximized they remain decorated.

attached is some simple code to show the problem. just run 'python simple.py' and should see.

Changed in wxwidgets2.8 (Ubuntu):
