You should probably be using jhbuild then.
I do use jhbuild as a build helper, but I don't build the whole
GNOME 3.9 world with it - I prefer to build only the packages I need
and use Ubuntu binaries whenever I can, especially for underlying
libraries. Also, I run everything I've built live on my system all
the time rather than in a separate jhbuild testing session. So I
don't want to run a vanilla GNOME GTK 3.9; I want one that actually
works with the Ubuntu app menu, for example.
So you are running unity then? if so you can expect that to be fixed
in about 6 months.
I do run Unity (and greatly prefer it to GNOME Shell).
I know that work is underway to enhance GTK so that the Unity app menu
will work without Ubuntu's proxy patch; that's great. Presumably
that's what you're saying will arrive "in about 6 months". In the
meantime, I just build GTK+ from git master and apply Ubuntu's proxy
patch myself - that worked fine throughout the GTK 3.8 development
cycle and early into 3.9, but then stopped working recently. So
presumably the proxy patch would need some changes to work with the
very latest GTK.
