Using Unity in Ubuntu Natty hides the modes and working sets in the top right.

Is there a fix to be able to change the modes and use working sets?.

Thanks,

Can you please provide a screenshot for this? (You will need to use a 3rd party image hosting site)

The image is in:

Modes and working sets are not available in the top right corner as Natty force the application menu to the panel.

I can't find another way to use those options using shortcuts or navigating through the available menus.

Thanks,

Unfortunately it seems you'll need to disable the Application menu in Panel support to use KDevelop in this case.

Is it possible to disable it for one application only?.

I've tried this to disable app menu for gedit and it works:

Code: Select all

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 gedit


However, the same doesn't work for Kdevelop and the menu sticks with the panel:

Code: Select all

UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 kdevelop


I can always logout and start a classic ubuntu session anyway.

Thanks,

I believe this functionality is provided in Qt via a plugin - it will likely use a different environment variable to disable it however.

Unfortunately I can't find out what that is - or how to disable it - as I am unable to locate the source code for it. I would recommend asking on the Ubuntu/Kubuntu forums.

Finally I faced more problems with the application menu in Unity for gtk apps and decided to get rid of that part. Following http://www.howtogeek.com/106009/disable-the-global-menu-appmenu-in-ubuntu-11.04-and-11.10/ I uninstalled this:

Code: Select all

    sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk  appmenu-qt

and the results is stable application menu and now I can use all features of KDevelop. This forces the application menu for all apps to stick with the window instead of using the global menu at the top as in the old Gnome. Good enough for me.
