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
