The problem was not in the .gnome or .gtk sub-directories, as I suspected.\u00a0 Instead two packages installed were the problem.\u00a0 gnome-globalmenu-common\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and\u00a0\u00a0 gnome-applet-globalmenu were the culprits.\u00a0There are two options if these are installed.\u00a0 The first is to use the applet on one of the Gnome panels either top or bottom of hte screen.\u00a0 This interesting applet will insert the ‘missing’ menu bar from the currently focused application into the bar the applet is a part of.\u00a0 This will be VERY\u00a0handy on the netbook, where real estate is an issue.\u00a0The other option is to remove them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
