Title:
global appmenu doesn't work with install-recommends off
Status in The Leadville project:
New
Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
In an system with install-recommends disabled and with indicator-
appmenu and appmenu-gtk installed, unity-2d does not provide proper
global menu support, by which I mean: application menus are not fully
integrated into the top panel. Such integration also requires
installing appmenu-gtk3. But this requirement is difficult to find.
* With indicator-appmenu and appmenu-gtk but without appmenu-gtk3 installed,
an app menu (for example nautilus) is just below and contiguous too the
unity-2d panel, not integrated into it.
* When appmenu-gtk3 is then installed, the app menu is fully integrated.
(See attachments.)
This requirement for appmenu-gtk3 was only discovered by
experimentation. It is too hidden. (I know of at least one other
project that didn't find it either.)
What to do, if anything?
Perhaps create a new pkg named 'appmenu-unity-2d' that depends on the
required packages and is a Recommend of unity-2d. If the
person/project does not want appmenu support, they don't install it,
but if they do, they get a working system without having to figure out
the required packages. (This sounds like a meta pkg since its only
reason for existence would be its dependencies.)
