I would like to propose a test case: I am affected by this bug but have discovered that if at the login screen, I delay a minute or so before logging in, the menus appear normally. However if I do not delay logging in; the menus never appear.
I don't have specific timing details, but delaying long enough to pour a mug of tea always results in working menus. This would support the race condition suggested above. The test case then: is so login as quickly as possible after the login screen appears using perhaps a NULL password or enabling the "login automatically" feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to bamf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532226 Title: No menu bar in gtk apps on fresh boot Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in bamf package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in bamf source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: Seen here in fresh 16.04 install using 01/07/16 image.
