Re: Indicator Applet Appmenu Does not work with many apps

Firefox and Thunderbird use XULRunner, which doesn't support detaching menus.
MonoDevelop probably uses some other toolkit, but Mono apps can be written to use GTK.
Java apps use Swing or something like that, which, as XULRunner, doesn't support detaching menus.
As a side note, I also installed the appmenu indicator, but gave up on it because I use "sloppy focus" and I can't access the menu sometimes. Also, it has weird graphical glitches.
MD uses GTK#, but has a lot of custom widgets on top. It would need to be altered.
