This package fixes this bug, but will introduce new one, but I think that will be easy to fix.
This is how I tested it: 1) Installed trusty in virtual box. 2) Installed gnome-panel and indicator-applet-appmenu. 3) Logged in gnome flashback session with metacity. 4) Added indicator-appelet-appmenu. Menu bar applet disappeared. 5) Enabled -proposed and upgraded gnome-panel. 6) Logged out and logged in. Menu bar does not disappear. New bug: Launching application from Applications menu will inherit UBUNTU_MENUPROXY environment varibale - menu won't be removed from application and added to indicator applet. I have idea how to fix it, so I probably will provide fix for it today. I will set tag to verification-done as this fix main (reported) problem and new bug won't make system unusable. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310929 Title: Panel menu-bar applet crashes after adding indicator-applet-appmenu Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-panel” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Bug description: Gnome-Panel menu-bar applet disappears when I add indicator-applet- appmenu (global-menu) to panel. However other indicators & applets are not affected. It could be related Bug #1222339, where global-menu was causing each & every other applet to crash including global-menu itself. This bug was fixed in 3.8.0-1ubuntu6. [Test Case] 1. install gnome-session-flashback. 2. login in session. 3. add indicator-applet-appmenu to gnome-panel. at this point menu-bar will dissapear. 4. remove indicator-applet-appmenu from panel to get menu-bar back. [Regression Potential] I think there is no regression potential. Same fix is used for external applets built with libpanel-applet library.
