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.
no not really, gnome3-team is more about bringing gnome to ubuntu,
as such Unity issues are not really the priority as far as the ppa
goes, of course patches are always welcomed!
