** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Switching tabs between open source files with different file types in
+ Eclipse causes the Source and Refactor menus to be empty in the global
+ menu bar under Unity.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ 1. Open a new project in Eclipse.
+ 2. Open two files: one with a .java extension, another with a .txt extension.
+ 3. Switch between the .java file and the .txt file and back again.
+ 4. Open the Source or Refactor menu in the Unity global menu bar.
+ 
+ Expected result: menus with menu items
+ Actual result: empty menus for both
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ The fix involves changes to both gtk and unity-gtk-module.
+ 
+ The changes to gtk are minimal and only involve the reversal of a pair
+ of signal emissions, in a part of the code (GtkMenuTracker) which is
+ normally used by desktop environments, not typical user applications.
+ Therefore regression potential for the gtk update is unlikely.
+ 
+ The changes to unity-gtk-module involve emitting show and hide signals
+ where they were none before has some regression potential for
+ applications that are explicitly watching for when their menus are
+ opening and closing. But this is rare for applications to do, and we
+ likely would have already received bug reports for those that do. Being
+ completely sure would require extensive testing across all gtk apps
+ though.
+ 
+ Both changes together have been available as a PPA, thoroughly tested
+ for quite some time now.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ The changes to unity-gtk-module depend on the changes to gtk, so both
+ must be tested in simultaneity. Suggested to upload both to trusty-
+ proposed at the same time.
