Hello

I would like to ask if there is a possibility - for example with appmenu-gtk API - to let the application menus disappear without the need of starting indicator applet.
I am developping a Linux based kiosk for older people and the possibility to hide the menus in the GTK applications would be very handy. Till now I had to add gnome/xfce panel with indicator applet to cause the menu hiding efect.
Is there any other possibility for example to send messages over Dbus with python or so ?

Thanks in advance for reply - K

don't know if this helps.. i have been using Natty for quite some time now..
Ever since compositing broke with an update earlier this month, i've been using a desktop with no application menus.

I use gnome-panel as my fallback solution, plus metacity.

It's really a great experience: i learn a lot about useful UI design by NOT having appmenus.
