( yay for compatibility with a closed source os and ignoring compatibility with an open source os ). Some time later, the GNOME folk suddenly decided that they wanted their applications to better blend with MAC OS, which has a global menu bar too. I assume it was because the GNOME folk just weren't interested in global menubars, but I couldn't find any info on this. The kde solution was accepted upstream but the gtk one remained as a downstream patch. Then they implemented a gtk patch and paid a guy to implement a kde solution. From what I understand, when the ubuntu folk wanted to take menubars out of the applications they did the right thing: they sat down, talked to people and wrote a spec for exporting menus over dbus - the dbusmenu. Long Story: It is very hard to find much details on the net. And I am definitely frustrated with what I could find. I might be wrong, but I've spent a lot of time googling and there seems to be almost no information. Warning: The following is my interpretation of the events. Short story: it doesn't work and there is no fix. Update: As mentioned, thanks to the tireless work of kde devs this now again works (since Plasma 5.9)
