Greetings, Has anyone managed to get the Ubuntu's Unity appmenus (a.k.a. global menus: application menus appear on the panel rather than in the application window) to work with XMonad? Starting with a clean installation of Ubuntu 11.10, the appmenus work, in the standard X session. Inspired by http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Unity_2D, I created the following files in order to create a xmonad-and-unity X session. /usr/share/applications/xmonad.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Xmonad Exec=xmonad NoDisplay=true X-GNOME-WMName=Xmonad X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=WindowManager X-GNOME-Provides=windowmanager X-GNOME-Autostart-Notify=true /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/xmonad.session: [GNOME Session] Name=Xmonad Unity RequiredComponents=gnome-settings-daemon; RequiredProviders=windowmanager;panel; DefaultProvider-windowmanager=xmonad DefaultProvider-panel=unity-2d-panel /usr/share/xsessions/xmonad-unity-session.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Name=XMonad Unity Comment=Tiling window manager TryExec=/usr/bin/gnome-session Exec=gnome-session --session=xmonad Type=XSession I also include , className =? "Unity-2d-panel" --> doIgnore , className =? "Unity-2d-launcher" --> doFloat in my xmonad.hs hooks. XMonad then runs beautifully, except for one serious problem: no application menus appear at all, neither in the application windows, nor on the panel (appmenu). For the time being I have switched off appmenus by UNinstalling the packages appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt appmenu-qt thunderbird-globalmenu firefox-globalmenu and the menus now all appear in the application windows. However not wasting space on menubars is in line with the sorts of reasons why I use XMonad, so I would like to try to get appmenus working. Can anyone suggest how to go about trying to get Unity appmenus to work with XMonad? Thanks.
