Public bug reported:
For some Qt apps from PPAs (I have noticed this with Retroshare
0.5.3.5503 from ppa:csoler-users/retroshare-snapshots and Bitcoin
v0.6.3.0-g6e0c5e3-beta from ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin), no menus appear in the
global menu bar (just the application's title). However, the application
also does not display its own menu bar, and the menu options are still
accessible via the Alt-invoked HUD.
Bitcoin's tray icon is also missing, although Retroshare's icons still
display properly; I am not sure if those go through this package as
well.
Menu options from Qt Creator (in the official Ubuntu repositories) are
showing up just fine in the global menu bar.
I am guessing that the flaw lies somewhere in appmenu-qt, since it's
responsible for taking an arbitrary Qt app and making its menu options
show up in the global menu bar. It's possible that the applications I'm
observing this issue with are somehow not well-behaved, but it would be
good to know what sort of bad behavior is responsible for this breakage.
