Title:
  disabling global appmenu leaves broken HUD (and does not disable it
  instead)

Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  1. Disable the global appmenu by removing the indicator-appmenu package.
  2. Tap the Alt key to bring up the HUD

  HUD says "Error: HUD service not connected".

  Expected behaviour:

  1. If the HUD is non-functional, it should not grab the Alt key.
  2. In principle, the HUD could be supported even if the global appmenu was disabled.

  Hopefully this will be fixed by bug #682788 "Improve Unity menus" in
  12.10.  (There will be a less brute-force / more officially-supported
  method to disable the global appmenu, so it should avoid breaking the
  HUD).
