Thanks for reporting this bug which I can confirm. I have assigned it to the package gnome-media. The application you used to set the open was probably gconf-editor.
To restore the window menu you need to delete a file. Open the file browser using "Places->Home Folder" and toggle the location bar to text (the button is top left just below the menu bar). In the text line, append "/.gnome2" to the line (note the dot). In this folder you should see a file called "gnome-volume-control" which can be safely deleted setting you menu option base to the default. To switch the menu tearoff option off, you need to run the config-editor again. Be careful, you can change many things using this application! Press alt-F2 and type "gconf-editor" into the dialogue then click "run". Expand the "desktop" branch, scroll down and click on "interface". Scroll the right-hand window down until you can see "menus_have_tearoffs" and then uncheck that option. Then just close gconf-editor. ** Changed in: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-media Status: New => Confirmed -- Volume control applet's menu bar unable to reattach https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
