Global Menu display cryptic text instead of Gwibber throbber #522

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Global menu print a wierd string of text after the menus if an application is 
trying to display a widget. 
The example I found this on was Gwibber. I know that Global Menu isn't suppose 
to display widgets. 
However, if it's going to fail, it should do so quietly. So Global Menu 
shouldn't display a funky string 
of text, just nothing.

The following are some screenshots of the problem:

This was originally reported against Gwibber on launchpad. There was also 
another problem at the 
time but that has since been fixed. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome2-
globalmenu/+bug/337368

It doesn't make sense to show some debugging string for unsupported widgets.

You are right. Shall we show something like 'unsupported menu item' 

or simply hide the unsupported items?

It should be hidden. The application isn't broken because of this problem, it 
is just that it doesn't expect global 
menu. Application devs wont be fixing this problem, I have talked to the 
Gwibber developers and they don't want 
to fix this for the sake of only global menu. Someware in some debugging info 
it should be said that the item is 
unsupported but not on the menu bar. It makes a lot more sense to me for it to 
be hidden.
