Yep, looks like the old Macmenu is still the best option for most people at this point. Global just needs further development.
About a month ago, I tried to get the new global menu to install, but I couldn't. There were issues in the instructions for installing that early build--file paths were not correct, and such.
I...
What extension, exactly, are you referring to? Here's a link to "IE Tab" at the Firefox extensions page, clearly saying it's not for Linux:

Did you check this thread:

Several suggestions there on getting the toolbars back, ranging from downgrading to some config file editing.
Two steps:
1) Remove Macmenu-applet from the top gnome panel. It will stay in your "Add Applet" menu for a time when you may decide to use it later. But if you really want to remove it, open...
Well, I went ahead and downgraded to 0.9.51, which fixed the problem fully. However, I'll always have 0.9.53 showing up in my Update Manager for eternity or until I find out there's been a fix in...
Not sure. Are you talking about something other than the macmenu patch and applet at the start of this thread?
KDE has a Mac-style global menu option already installed, too, with a menu for the...
Well, when you remove Wine, at least in synaptic, you'll have to remove ies4linux too, unless there's a method for avoiding that.
I'm gonna go ahead and remove ies4linux, too, then start fresh......
I thought that might be the issue, and I was just about to do the downgrade, too.
Is this what you guys are seeing? The same lack of buttons in the toolbar?
There is a new bug now being widely reported among ies4linux users. See this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665786
I've attached a screenshot of my IE6. It was installed using...
I'm getting this too. It's a new bug. Two weeks ago, when I first installed ies4linux, it was great.
There was a Wine update a couple of days ago. That may be the culprit. I've read somewhere that...
Do you mean, inside the directory that I extracted to my desktop, before I ran the dpkg? Or is there a new directory that was created somewhere by the dpkg command?
If you mean the one on my...
You might try SkyOfAzel's iMetal theme, available here:

That will unify most apps and make the menubar uniform, though not all....
I think the big uppercase warning at the top of that page indicates something: It's still a draft. I plan to wait a while before trying this again. Hopefully these developers will take our comments...
Are you sure that is correct?
I extracted the tarball to my desktop, then got a folder called lbgtk2.0-0-aqd-v3.172. I cd'd into that folder and did "sudo dpkg -i *.deb".
After completing the...
My macmenubar just crashed again. I believe this is a result of downloading, but not successfully installing, the new gnome2-globalmenu.
The last time this happened (see post #1428 ), I had to...
Could you explain this command a bit more? What "applet" do I need to cd to? Perhaps a fuller path would help...
yep, easy once you have the right command!
I can now report that Real Player and Helix Player will not work under the macmenu. Though they have global menus, they crash when the user clicks on...
Yes, I agree with all that. I'd add that basically, a global menu increases usability and makes the desktop feel more unified, more intuitive. Most people who use Macs would probably agree. After...
About that "GTK_MENUBAR_NO_MAC" config:
Where, exactly, do I need to make that .gnomerc file? is it in /home/jslmg (my user folder), or in /home (the top level of the home folder)?
I currently...
No kittens have been killed, I promise....;)
Right. The full command I entered was:
sudo cp GNOME_GlobalMenuApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_GlobalMenuApplet.server, straight from the wiki.

I had a major difficulty with the Menubar system today. No doubt it was due to my own actions. But as these problems were unexpected, I thought I'd report them.
I'm not sure which of my actions...
I tried this browser. Crashes on two very important operations:
(1) After changing "UI Level"
(2) After importing bookmarks from Firefox or wherever.
These crashes disqualify it in my book...
