Nautilus has gained an application menu, which is implemented with gmenumodel. Its window menus are still using GtkMenuBar, which gets picked up by the ubuntu-menuproxy plugin and exported with dbusmenu.
indicator-appmenu can handle both dbusmenu and gmenumodel, but as far as I can see not both at the same time. That means, applications need to export all their menus using either gmenumodel or dbusmenu. indicator- appmenu seems to favor dbusmenu, which is why only nautilus' window menus are visible in the panel. Does somebody know when nautilus is planned to use gmenumodel for everything? Are there any other applications in this indermediate state? ** Summary changed: - Nautilus missing Preferences (incorrect handling of appmenu and menu used together) + App menus aren't shown in the panel if the app is also exporting menus via dbusmenu ** Description changed: - Nautilus Edit is missing Preferences tab + This happens for nautilus, which exposes an application menu but still + uses GtkMenu for window menus.
