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

I can't wait to install this come jaunty release. I hope that apart from all other issues, Firefox will work well with global-menu by then. Thanks to all the people involved. Keep it up!

I don't think so, but Google Chrome will, as it is using GTK.

Hey! Chrome has no menu in Windows... It is going to have a menu in Mac?

Hi all, i search all over this thread but i couldn't find anyone with my same problem... maybe i'm missing something.
I've had the global menu (an older version) on Hardy, and it work perfect, someday (don't ask me why) just stop working, i mean, the applet was there whit the windows name, but whit no menus.

I remove it, install it again (now the version 0.7.3), i enabled the applet and the 'gtk menus option' on the preferences panel, but the menus didn't appear.

I have the correct Vala version (0.5.6), there where no problems on installation.
So, what's wrong?

can you make the name of the application text bolder? just to give more distinction where the name end and menus start.

Yes, all mac apps have a menu, it might be smaller than other apps (less menus) but it will be there.

Not having to see how the menu is working, i removed it using apt-get remove, however now i get the following error when running apps

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "globalmenu-gnome": libglobalmenu-gnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I again installed and purged the package as well thinking something got left behind, however the error remains.

Any advise on how i can get rid of the same ?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Nope it didn't help to completely remove the message. I still get the same message, though earlier it used to appear 2-3 times, now its appearing once.

Do you have a line like this in your ~/.gnomerc (or ~/.profile) file :

export GTK_MODULES=globalmenu-gnome

If yes comment it or remove it, then logout/in.
