Yes, when a project is loaded (so that some of the menu items are enabled) it works. I tried to use the switch user thing to start a gnome shell (I assume that's how you are supposed to do it), but... well... if I want to spend an enjoyable afternoon filing bug reports I know where to go!
I got to the greeter/login window bit. It all looks very good but the power/volume buttons in the top right corner of the screen don't react to clicks, and there appears to be no option to choose a login environment (gnome/unity/kde etc). So I tried to log back in as myself. Unfortunately, the screen went blank and I was presented only with a *very* laggy cursor. I tried a few CTRL-ALT-F?'s and managed to get back to my desktop but the window manager had totally died, and there was no way to restart it. Even CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE seems to have been disabled. I eventually had to resort to a hard reset! Anyway, I doubt investigating that and filing bug reports would have much effect, and I am rambling off topic. Basically I didn't manage to run Qt Creator in a non-unity environment, but I seem to recall that the build menu is indeed disabled if all submenus are disabled. I can't recall what happens when you click it though. ... And I just found a screenshot that confirms it: http://www.kitware.com/InfovisWiki/images/7/7f/Qt-creator-welcome.png (There are other screenshots that don't show this so I guess they changed it at some point.) In which case, this bug should be "Disabled menus aren't displayed as such." Cheers On 6 December 2011 12:55, Omer Akram <om2...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > What happens when a project is loaded?
