You could turn the "global menu" off (so it gets put back into each window) by executing this command: echo "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" >> ~/.bashrc You'll have to log out for it to take effect. Hope you don't mind the now useless panel at the top taking up your screen estate ;-) For alternatives to the global and "classic" menus please see this discussion: [Ayatana] Ideas for Unity Design Tweaks _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
