Public bug reported:
In an system with install-recommends disabled and with indicator-appmenu
and appmenu-gtk installed, unity-2d does not provide proper global menu
support, by which I mean: application menus are not fully integrated
into the top panel. Such integration also requires installing appmenu-
gtk3. But this requirement is difficult to find.
* With indicator-appmenu and appmenu-gtk but without appmenu-gtk3 installed, an
app menu (for example nautilus) is just below and contiguous too the unity-2d
panel, not integrated into it.
* When appmenu-gtk3 is then installed, the app menu is fully integrated.
(See attachments.)
This requirement for appmenu-gtk3 was only discovered by
experimentation. It is too hidden. (I know of at least one other project
that didn't find it either.)
What to do, if anything?
Perhaps create a new pkg named 'appmenu-unity-2d' that depends on the
required packages and is a Recommend of unity-2d. If the person/project
does not want appmenu support, they don't install it, but if they do,
they get a working system without having to figure out the required
packages. (This sounds like a meta pkg since its only reason for
existence would be its dependencies.)
