Help! Gnome menu missing!

Recently there has been problem found with gnome menus – on applications such as evolution and pidgin, the main menu disappeared.

Apparently, this is a bug in the gnome desktop environment.

The solution:

  1. Open gconf-editor
  2. Navigate to apps -> gnome_settings_daemon -> gtk-modules
  3. Find the line with “globalmenu-gnome” as name
  4. Uncheck the checkbox at the front

And that’s it! While unchecking the checkbox, you should notice your windows getting their menus back!
