[Bug 1200006] Re: appmenu-gtk support dropped, but unity-gtk-module doesn't work outside unity

 

It's still working for me here. I just tried Pidgin to make sure the
menu is exported. You'll need appmenu-gtk from the PPA and the version
of GTK2 in the PPA. appmenu-gtk requires a patched version of GTK2. This
will not work for GTK3 apps as I have not forward ported the patch for
GTK3 from raring.

You'll also need libdbusmenu-qt2. Do QT4 apps properly export the menu
in KDE for you?

Firefox and Libreoffice are also different since they don't use standard
GTK2 menus. You'll need to set ui.use_unity_menubar = true in
about:config for Firefox. The Firefox package will also have to have the
unity menubar patch applied (which the standard Ubuntu Firefox has).
