No it's not installed yet. From its description "The AppMenu GTK+
module watches for these types of menus [=old-style] and exports the
appropriate GMenuModel implementation."
I'll try if installing this changes something and will report back.
Aha, this actually might be the solution! Gretl menus still react, both
on the default Ubuntu desktop and in a more generic GDM/"Gnome under
Xorg" session. I will stick to this setup and see what happens. If this
is a stable remedy then it could be communicated more prominently.
(And BTW, all this was with a compiled-from-git version from last month.
Perhaps eventually we should check whether the standard version shipped
with Ubuntu has the same problems.)
thanks for your patience,
