With the default Ubuntu window manager, none of your applications have menus attached to their windows. There is a "global" menu at the top of your screen which contains the menu for the currently focused application. Due to some sort of misguided attempt to make it look better, which I think makes it even more confusing and less discoverable, the menu isn't visible until you navigate over it with the mouse. -D _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
