As a follow up to my previous comment: Unfortunately, adding "eclipse" to the blacklist (in addition to "Eclipse") only works for 32 bit because in 64 bit, the eclipse process forks a java process. Since the blacklist works on the executable name, that would mean blacklisting all java programs which would be overkill. It looks like the real solution will be to make the global menu work.
Here are my observations looking into blacklisting: 13.04: - g_set_prgname is called first with "eclipse" when showing the splash screen - A few seconds later g_set_prgname is called again with "Eclipse", from some java code - Then, when a gtk_combo_box is constructed, the menu_proxy_module gets loaded and the blacklist is checked using g_get_prgname, "Eclipse" matches 13.10 (32 bit): - g_set_prgname is called first with "eclipse" when showing the splash screen - In the same call to show the splash screen, gtk_module gets initialized and the blacklist is checked using g_get_prgname, "eclipse" doesn't match "Eclipse" - Then a few seconds later g_set_prgname is called again with "Eclipse", from some java code 13.10 (64 bit): - g_set_prgname is called first with "java" when showing the splash screen - In the same call to show the splash screen, gtk_module gets initialized and the blacklist is checked using g_get_prgname, "java" doesn't match "Eclipse" - Then a few seconds later g_set_prgname is called again with "Eclipse", from some java code -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eclipse in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208019 Title: Eclipse menus doesn't show up in Saucy Status in “eclipse” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-gtk-module” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: **************** HOW TO REPRODUCE **************** 1.
