Public bug reported: 1) Detailed bug description To start the application with the menu enabled in the application and the panel, the following command has to be used:
APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1 appname I recently discovered that this only works for non-gtk3 applications in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, i.e. if you replace appname with applications such as gnome-terminal, gedit, evince, etc. only global menus will be displayed. APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH is simply ignored. However, if you start, for example, gimp or inkscape by using APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH, both global and local menus will be shown.
