Ok, the fix seems to work fine and no bug was reported since it landed, I've uploaded a quantal backport
** Description changed: + Impact: + sometime menu items are not working + + Test Case: + wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-appmenu/+bug/1075263/+attachment/3424800/+files/test.py + "python test.py" + use the unity menu to do file->quit + run "python test.py" directly again + try to use file->quit + + without the fix the menu item doesn't work after a quick restart, after + the fix it does + + Regression potential: + check that menu correctly represent the focussed applications and that items work as they should + + --- + In the attached example, the Quit menu item is supposed to work but sometimes it does not. If you start and quit the example repeatedly, you will eventually witness the Quit item having no effect when clicked. This is happening with both Python 2 and Python 3, in both Quantal and Precise. However, it seems to be happening only with the mouse: the keyboard accelerator (Ctrl+q) always works. Calling the action directly from dbus with gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.test --object-path /org/gnome/test --method org.gtk.Actions.Activate 'quit' [] {} also seems to always work. This issue seems exclusive to menus built with GMenu. Swallowed GtkMenuBars seem to always work fine.
