I think it's something the Unity UI is doing. It does the same thing to EVERY GUI app. The Unity UI demands that all GUI apps use a single menu at the top of the screen (by default). Whichever window is active has its menus there. But by default, the menus aren't shown until you mouse up to that part of the screen. That could be why the original poster isn't seeing the Rosegarden menus ... The Unity UI has problems when apps use more than one window. It even has problems with some apps that use only ONE window. The real fix is to replace Unity UI with XFCE! -- David gn...@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
