RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Remi Collet 2013-07-09 12:22:37 UTC
Hi.

When application à run remotely (for example from ssh -X) the options from the
AppMenu are missing.

Ex, in gedit: Quit and Preferences.
(Quit is not a real issue, while missing Preferences is really annoying).

I know the tips to disable AppMenu
gsettings set \
  org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides \
  '@a{sv} {"Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu": <int32 0>}'

This works well locally. But not for remote app (no session / daemon-settings
running).

It will be great to have application to switch to Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu=0 at
runtime when some condition encountered.


Using graphical gnome application from remote is a quite common usage, I think.

Thanks.

I notice gnome-terminal add Pref / Help entries in both the AppMenu and in the standard menu, which seems a acceptable solution.

Comment 4 Florian Müllner 2014-04-26 12:42:57 UTC
GtkApplication is expected to fallback to an in-window app menu if it cannot be displayed by the shell. It currently only handles the case where the desktop does not support app menus at all, it needs to handle the case where desktop shell and application use different DBus sessions as well - see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671802.
