For gnome-shell users that want a workaround for this bug but want to preserve global menus in Unity then perhaps a better solution is to create a file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/81ubuntu-menu-proxy with the single line content:
[ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" != "ubuntu" ] && unset UBUNTU_MENUPROXY -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787465 Title: View->Show MenuBar isn't working in 11.04 and later in gnome-terminal Status in “appmenu-gtk” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal If you click on the global menus the View->Show MenuBar and (un)check it, it won't work, the menu will stay at the 'global menus panel' or whatever it is. In my opinion this option shouldn't exist now, considering that global menus are the future, and also considering that a global menu has the advantage not to keep its own space on the screen :) WORKAROUND: 1. sudo apt-get purge appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 2.
