Bug ID: 444609
Summary: GTK applications do not use the Global Menu widget in
a Wayland session
Product: kwin
Version: 5.23.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: appmenu
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: anhollander...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
GTK applications do not use the Global Menu widget in a Wayland session.
Rather, they use their own GTK menubar.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install community/appmenu-gtk-module
2. Add a Global Menu widget
3. Open GTK applications that use a menubar in a Plasma Wayland session. I have
reproduced this with firefox-appmenu, qalculate-gtk, and pcmanfm.
OBSERVED RESULT
GTK applications use their own menubar, rather than the global menu.
firefox-appmenu is a patched version of firefox that allows it to use appmenu,
and it has native GTK menubar support removed. In the Wayland session, there is
no access to the menubar at all. This is obviously because of the patch, and
not related to the bug, but something observed nonetheless.
EXPECTED RESULT
GTK applications use the Global Menu as intended
