Hmm.
Is this safe to do on Hardy?
Anyone tried it i mean?
Since last time i used this one, the patched GTK i had to run

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

Which basically removed everything that had to do with GNOME...
Soo, does it work?

ayoli, I installed it using the link you provided. Is there any way to choose an aplication to not use globalmenu? It doesn't show emesene menus...

**gsiliceo** · June 27th, 2008

I have the same problem gaspar, emesene menu won't show.
Or it will show randomnly.

yes there is a way to exclude some applications using a file called .libgnomenu.conf in your home dir.
edit or create this file :

Code:

gedit ~/.libgnomenu.conf

put a line like this in it :

Code:

emesene : ignore

save and exit gedit, then logout/in gnome. It should do the trick.
