Mac-style Menu Bar for GTK and Java/Swing applications!

I'd prefer not to have to disable multithreading >.> At least Epiphany restores all the crashed windows and tabs afterwards.

Hmm ... I have a really quick request that anyone using the Global Menu Applet can do. You might want to do it for yourself just to test, actually.

Can someone who has the Applet installed and turned on install Monodevelop from the repositories, and see if it starts up? Because it hasn't been starting for me, and I'm wondering if it is because of the Applet.

Just installed monodevelop and it seems to work fine with globalmenu, other than the usual random segfaults. It took a couple of dozen starts before I had a problem.

If anybody here doesn't want to compile gnome-global-menu, you can download my build from my PPA. It works fine, though it still doesn't get a long with firefox that well.

Guys, sorry to drop in.

I just installed 0.77.1 from source in Fedora 11. I'm running Compiz.

I've noticed... I can use the Alt-* shortcuts to access the "Application" part of the menu, and I can use F10 to access the "Window" part of the menu...

But if I use F10 [the keyboard shortcut, not the distribution], I can't use the keyboard to access any of the application menus. It seems like the window menu and application menus are two separate groups of menus.

Is there a way to unify them, or did my installation/config botch up? I would like to be able to scroll through all the menus in the global menu bar using either shortcut sequence.

[EDIT: Sorry, this issue has already been filed as #283.]

And is the Google Group active? Seems kinda barren.
