Small problems- Desktop Menu Bar: Nautilus don't display desktop menu bar by default. One needs to edit ~/.libgnomenu.conf to work around. (default quirk shipped in /etc/libgnomenu.conf; but don't work for every Locale)
- nautilus
- thunar (perhaps)
- Improper quit: The following applications don't dispose the menu bar; they hold a reference to the widgets and don't release it. It is their bug and we can't do anything. The menu server needs several seconds to realize the application has quited.
- Don't know what problem it is.
- Blank at original menu bar position: One needs a quirk entry(roaming) to avoid the blank of the menu bar. The quirk, as the name indicates, makes the menu bar always out from the application window.
- wxWindow application ( quirk shipped by default, assuming they all begin with wx*)
- RapidSVN
- audacity
- VLC (a wxapp that doesn't work with the quirk)
Big problemsTBD
CrashTBD
Not support- Pseudo GTK applications, which don't use GTK widgets:
- Any application runs under another user account. e.g. all the system management applications. This is also a security consideration.
- Wine Apps
- VirtualBox OSE

Banshee-1 shows up as "Nereid" in the app name, and the notification icon must be disabled or a "white" spot on the panel will appear.
wxPython apps do not respond to the overrides when set by their name. To fix them, you need to add python : roaming. I am unsure how this impacts apps written in pyGTK.
emesene sometimes do not show the menubar, I need restart the proccess.
It would be really awesome to have a way to get Firefox and OpenOffice? to work with this - considering they're the two major applications that many would use (including myself) and they are 2 apps that could benefit from the extra screen real estate as well.
in re to firefox i found this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411934
inkscape is considered as "perfect"... but most of the icons are missing in the menus (inkscape 0.46, globalmenu 0.7.3)
Just want to add, Songbird won't load at all if the current version is installed.
I can run it under ubuntu 8.04.2,it work ok,but everytime I login Ubuntu,Some tip appear at the buttom like that "No Global Menu? The Global Menu Plugin is not enabled....",how to disable it?Thanks.
It seems fine under Jaunty 9.04 - however I would prefer the option to have it mounted on a top panel, set to auto hide, and with the menu appearing as it would in a window rather than as a drop down menu (currently mounted on the left panel).
Unfortunately, keybindings for the window (ALT + F for File, E for Edit) don't work either - can this be fixed?
i have linux mint and it does not show up at all no matter how many times i restart.
i would say a big issue is the inability for anyone to UNINSTALL this....
Firefox 3.5.1 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090718 Shiretoko/3.5.1
Crashes on start with gnome2-globalmenu enabled. Distro: Arch Linux 2.6.29-rt
will it ever work with firefox?
Eclipse 64bits doesn't work.
gxine doesn't work at all.
Rawtherappe (photo raw converter) does not work with installed globalmenu! Both Ubuntu jaunty & karmic)
