I can verify Pieter's comments. I too am on Ubuntu 12.04 with Cassou's emacs-snapshot, all completely up to date. There are no other versions of emacs installed.
1. If I start "emacs-snapshot-gtk" from Unity, the global Unity menu for emacs is static, and there is no menu bar on the emacs window. 2. If I run "emacs-snapshot-gtk" from an xterm, the behaviour is the same as in 1. 3. If I run just "emacs" from an xterm, then the global Unity menu is still broken, but the emacs window has it's own menu and in that menu the dynamic stuff is working, i.e., the available menus change with the mode of the buffer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673302 Title: appmenu-gtk breaks dynamically created Emacs Gtk+ menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dbusmenu/+bug/673302/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
