Thanks for trying that, Artur. If it's not too much bother, could
you see if the official Ubuntu gretl package has the same problem
(menus available when they shouldn't be)? I wonder if they might
have patched the source in some way.
If their gretl package is broken, we surely need to submit a bug
report (probably even if it's just self-compiled gretl that's
broken). It's not acceptable that Ubuntu users should think gretl is
broken if this problem is manufactured by Ubuntu. (I understand
their desire to present a uniform interface, but if they're going to
do that they have to get it right, which means responding to calls
to sensitize and desensitize menu items depending on the program
state, calls that it appears they're ignoring at present.)
