Merge with indicator-appmenu (at least the QT part) #644

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a QT programm
2. No menu is shown

What is the expected output?
The QT menu should be shown, like for GTK+ apps.

It would be really awsome if you manage to somehow merge Gnome Globalmenu with 
Ubuntu's indicator-appmenu --> support for QT apps would be so cool.

Currently indicator-appmenu doesn't support SWT apps, openoffice and mozilla 
apps. If you somehow could port over the QT stuff to globalmenu, then it would 
be the far superior global app menu: GTK+, QT, mozilla (with the hack that is 
mentioned somewhere here on this project page) and SWT support!

Please try to do this, would be really cool ;-)

In case of Mozilla based apps, there is a *.xpi file you can use for Firefox. 
Now idea where I've got it from, sorry... For now, it leaves a menu bar within 
the window, though.

For the Qt part, it's a long-standing issue, see 
http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/issues/detail?id=34

But I agree with you, once it would support GTK, QT, Firefox and OpenOffice, it 
would be the better solution in comparison with the Ubuntu version. I've tested 
it, and I'm missing some features, such as window list and window menu. And I 
haven't figured out how to display the app name, as usual in gnome-globalmenu.

Some links to make Firefox work with gnome-globalmenu:

You will find some download links for *.xpi files to get a global menu bar for 
Firefox.

To get rid of the original menubar within the window, visit the following page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-menubar-4762/
The menubar will be hidden, although the menu entries are still available via 
the global menu.

Summarizing that, I would say there is no need for the globalmenu developers or 
the Mozilla folks to implement a native solution for that problem. The 
mentioned xpi files are sufficient for me.
