It works here, with xfce 4.4, gnome 2.16, and blackbox. The code has been made more complex after first release, to make the menubar suffient itself (without panels). But it should not display previous menubar (not visible :)) anyway unless the WM is broken or you get a bad patch ;)

I use beryl but I did try metacity also and it is/was the same, currently rebuilding with new patch and checking for anything odd in the build progress.

Hello AqD,

I see in your screenshot you have a application launcher bar at the bottom right. What is that? Is it the gdesklet launcher bar?

It's xfce panel. Xfce 4.4 has a new panel system that works like gnome's.

if you're on edgy you could use my binaries directly. the latest applets/patch are not for gtk 2.8 anyway :)

UPDATED! - now version 1.0.6

Deb for Ubuntu Edgy. Get it here. Also, for the panel applet, you have to copy the attached files to these locations:

Code:

---

sudo mv /path/to/macmenu-applet /usr/lib/gnome-applets/
sudo mv /path/to/GNOME_MacMenuApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/

---

Note - Gtk might try to update itself with the unpatched version!

Enjoy
