Sorry I did'nt thought on this. I have also installed in the same PC the LXDE
and Gnome desktop environments. I have just tried to see the help menu on
these and they have no problem with the pdf icons. So, the problem seems to
be specific to Unity.
I remember that in Oklahoma James McKinnon was also noting some strange
behaviour in the gretl "File" menu in Ubuntu 13.04 using Unity. I have 13.04
on my laptop and have now taken a look at it. In particular in the File menu
if you select "Open data"the submenu that emerges has two "Open"
elements
instead of "User file..." and "Sample file...". Furthermore, the
icons of the
Help menu are all lost (See the two snapshots).
Using Lubuntu (Lxde) in the same laptop I don't see any problem with the File
menu and the icons are correct.
Thanks for doing the detective work, Ignacio.
So I believe we can put this down as a Unity bug -- perhaps in the
indicator-appmenu package. This is unfortunate, given the popularity of
Ubuntu, but I don't think there's anything we can do about it.
I wonder if it's still there in 13.04? And I wonder if running
UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gretl
would help? (Note that there has to be space after the "=", the intent is
to remove UBUNTU_MENUPROXY from the environment before running gretl.)
