    Missing menu bar in wx applications after update

    OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

    After updating the OS with apt-get dist-upgrade I discovered that menu bar in wx applications are disappeared.

    While in Unity there are no trouble, in Gnome-Shell and Gnome-Classic sessions the menu bars don't appears anymore.

    I noticed the bug in these applications:

    - Audacity
    - wxMaxima

    The package that has been updated are:

    - libwxbase2.8-0
    - libwxgtk2.8-0
    - unity-lens-video
    - software-center

    Hi all,

    I can confirm that behavior. However, for me it does not work neither with Gnome 3 nor with Unity. I had hoped that logging in using Unity would fix the problem.

    That's a pity since it seems that all wx applications are affected and we have some data analysis tool in our lab that rely an python-taits and python-traitsui and the wx interface.

    I've got this problem in Kubuntu with XFCE desktop.

    Audacity starts with no menu.
    I can get the menu back in Audacity by pressing Ctr-N , which then starts a new instance with the menu back.

    A temporary workaround is switching the gnome theme and the menubar apears again.

    This bug sucks about as it seems to bring the horrors of Unity to the Gnome Shell. (= personal opinion, not meant to start a flame against Unity)

    Excellent! That works for poEdit, pySVN ( SVN Workbench) and rapidSVN too... Sadly, you have to do this EACH time you open the application but then again, it's a work-around. Thanks for sharing

    Cool, on kubuntu, I "simply" got rid of the bug with:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk
    There were no package dependent on this one, so it was really smooth.
