I can't believe it. I have been trying so many things to fix this bug. The bug is now largely fixed but a few problems remain. (see below) Last night just before I reported this bug, I removed and reinstalled the compiz, unity and gconf packages using apt-get. I am not absolutely sure that how much was actually removed as I got a number of messages about not being able to remove /usr/share/dbus-1/services. files. In order to let these packages be re-installed I removed the whole directory:
sudo rm /usr/share/dbus-1/services The situation now is that the window text menus now appear in the unity session. Further Alt+Tab now switches between windows. Not quite clear what has fixed this - as it the reinstall or the removal of the dbus-1 directory. The following problems still exist: Changes to System Settings Appearance don't save and existing ones take no effect, e.g. existing background. Unable to start the Terminal app. It simply does not appear. Ctrl+Alt+F1 is continues to fine. The org.gtk.vfs message still appears at start up of the session. Further I have just noticed that it appears when I press Browse Network on the Files app. The message may be completely irrelevant but it certainly did not appear when I first installed ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1548841 Title: Text Menus not displaying - org.gtk.vfs.Daemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1548841/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
