Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release:        16.04

Running 16.04 & Unity on a new Dell XPS 13 9360 laptop, freshly
installed. The menus for GTK apps (terminal, nautilus) are always shown
below the app title bar. Non-GTK apps like Chrome or Text editor do show
correctly at the top bar as it is supposed to considering the use of
global menus.

This is weird as it does not happen for both userids configured on this
machine. The other user's desktop session shows menu for GTK apps at the
top bar using global menus correctly.

See pic. And never mind the Macbuntu theme, I just installed it to test
with it, but the same behavior was experienced before I did it.

Also, on an external display I connect, the nautilus menus show up on
the desktop.

If I completely wipe this userid and recreate it, menus work as
expected, but over time it reoccurs. I have not been able to identify
what triggers it.

Coincidentally, libreoffice will not even open for this user session,
but works well for the other.

This bug seem to show a somehow similar behavior to another reported bug in the 
sense that it only happens for one userid session and not for the other.

I have also posted this for help in askubuntu.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1028598/ubuntu-16-04-broken-menus-for-gtk-apps-always-displayed

Can anyone help me with the commands I should run to produce a system
report for the community to analyze it?

Thanks.
