This is happening because of the way DBusMenu implements its menuitems. GtkMenuItem is a GtkBin, and gtk's menuitem.c adds a single child, a GtkAccelLabel (which is a private Gtk class). DBusMenu wants the single child to be a container, so it reparents that GtkAccelLabel into an hbox and sets the hbox as the single child. (see genericmenuitem.c's set_label()).
Unfortunately, this breaks Gtk's gtkmenuitem.c's gtk_menu_item_sync_action_properties() function, which only updates the GtkAccelLabel's properties if the GtkAccelLabel is still the direct child of the menuitem. It looks like there's some precedent in gtkmenuitem.c to look harder for the Accel Label if the menuitem'c child is a container. This is what's done in gtk_menu_item_accel_width_foreach() as a part of determining the menuitem's preferred width for gtk_menu_item_get_preferred_width(). Maybe a similar patch would be accepted upstream for gtk_menu_item_sync_action_properties(). I haven't tested such a patch, but I think it would resolve this bug. ** Changed in: indicator-session Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: indicator-session (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: dbusmenu Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011733 Title: The lock screen shortcut doesn't update when its value is changed in dconf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dbusmenu/+bug/1011733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
