[Ayatana-dev] Appmenu-GTK problems

[Jan-Christoph Borchardt <jancborchardt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a problem with a panel applet disappearing when Appmenu-GTK
is used, please see the corresponding bug at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cardapio/+bug/603795

To quote Thiago from comment #6:

»So, to summarize for them, here is what's happening:

1) Make sure Appmenu is installed
2) Make sure Appmenu is *not* on the panel
3) Add Cardapio to the panel
- result: All good. You can see the Cardapio applet just fine.

4) Now add Appmenu to the panel
- result: Appmenu appears in the panel, but Cardapio disappears. Note
that Cardapio is still running, though, as you can see by summoning it
with the shortcut key Windows+Space

5) Remove Appmenu from panel
- result: Cardapio is back!

Here's what seems to be happening: The Cardapio applet is actually a
GtkMenubar with a GtkImageMenuItem inside of it, and Appmenu seems to
hide all GtkMenubars, including of course Cardapio's.

So my question is: Is there anything in the Appmenu API that can be
used by Cardapio to make sure its menus *aren't* hidden?«
