Just a second gretl window, or a second gretl instance?
There's no problem on Mac OS X, and no problem on Arch or Fedora
[...]
I prefer to use the Xfce desktop with both Arch and Fedora, but I
added a new user on Fedora 28 (very gnome-y distro by default) and
started a Gnome 3 session. Again, no problem with gretl menus.
I gather there's something called appmenu-gtk3-module in the Debian
world, that can apparently be installed on Ubuntu 18.04. I don't
know if it's there by default. Is it installed on your system? (So
far as I can tell it may be an instance of dodgy intervention in the
operation of third-party programs, though I don't know that for
sure.)
