I'm not running Ubuntu, but if you have a custom session script / xinitrc, perhaps there's an environment variable you can set to disable the global menu, like how there is for their popup scrollbars. The page below suggests setting UBUNTU_MENUPROXY to an empty value, e.g. env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gedit or in an .xinitrc, to apply to all programs: export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationMenu > In any case, instead of killing unity and starting awesome, you should > try to have awesome start automatically instead of unity. +1.
