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.)
