[Bug 1242937] Re: unity-gtk-module does not respect "ubuntu-local" property (used by e.g. Freeciv) as appmenu-gtk did

 

This bug was fixed in the package unity-gtk-module -
0.0.0+14.04.20131125-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity-gtk-module (0.0.0+14.04.20131125-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  [ Charles Kerr ]
  * Add acroread to the blacklist. (LP: #664647)

  [ William Hua ]
  * Freeciv uses multiple menu bars in its UI. When unity-gtk-module
    tries to export its menus, it becomes really cramped in the global
    menu to the point of being unusable. It's better to allow Freeciv to
    keep its menus where they are in this case. (LP: #1242937)
  * Add a GSettings schema that allows the user to set a blacklist and
    whitelist for unity-gtk-module (LP: #1243413). (LP: #1243413)

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * Automatic snapshot from revision 308

Title:
  unity-gtk-module does not respect "ubuntu-local" property (used by
  e.g. Freeciv) as appmenu-gtk did

Status in Unity GTK+ module:
  Fix Committed
Status in “unity-gtk-module” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The pre-13.10 global menu arrangement (appmenu-gtk?) allowed
  applications to suppress the "global menu" behaviour (where menubars
  move to the top of the screen) by decorating menubars with a Gtk
  property called "ubuntu-local".

  Freeciv has several menubars that do not make sense to be global
  menus, and so decorates them with "ubuntu-local" (see LP #743265).

  The new arrangement in Ubuntu 13.10, involving unity-gtk-module, does
  not appear to respect the "ubuntu-local" property. All menubars are
  indiscriminately hoisted up to the global menu, resulting in a mess.
  Screenshot (taken by attente): http://imgur.com/HzJQ0Yq (here the menu
  buttons "Diplomacy", "Intelligence", "Display", "AI" should all be at
  the bottom of the "Nations" tab in the notebook).
