There is no installation guide for this version at all

As it's supposed to automaticaly be there... If it doesn't show up after 
installation and a reboot, then that's a bug.

Could you open a terminal and say 'env|grep GTK_MODULES' ?

And run gedit in the terminal.

also press Alt-F2 and type lg. in the Extensions 'tab' see if you can see 
Global Menu?

Looks like the extension is loaded. 

So globalmenu-gtk is loaded as a gtk module if it shows up in env. Does you 
apps still have the menubar in their windows?

what about 'ps |grep globalmenu' ? it should show you something like 
globalmenu-manager running if the dbus autolaunch service is properly 
configured.

I wrote a page listing what the installation is supposed to do:

OK. the module is not loaded.

If you run gedit from commandline, what error messages do you see?

Can you try to seek where libglobalmenu-gtk.so is installed on you system, and 
run a gtk program (gedit eg) with

gedit --gtk-module=full_path_and_filename_to_libglobalmenu-gtk.so 

and see if there are any error messages?

Hi

I got this error message

[weiqiu@love ~]$ gedit
--gtk-module=/user/local/lib/gtk+-3.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gtk.so
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module
"/user/local/lib/gtk+-3.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gtk.so"

** (gedit:1761): WARNING **: Error loading plugin: libhspell.so.0: can't

I do see there is  libglobalmenu-gtk.so in  /user/local/lib/gtk+-3.0/modules

It needs the environment variable GTK_MODULES to include globalmenu-gtk. E. g. 
in your xinitrc or bashrc (assuming you don't depend on any other module):
export GTK_MODULES=globalmenu-gtk
Also, gnome-globalmenu-manager needs to be running. The package provides an 
dbus service file for that, but it does not get launched automatically yet, so 
it needs to be invoked manually.
And it only works with a limited amount of gtk applications. Though its only an 
alpha release and seems to be a complete rewrite in vala/js.
p. s. : it's horrible to use with sloppy focus.
p. p. s. : I forgot to mention i had to symlink the modules:
ln -s /usr/lib/gtk+-3.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gtk.so 
/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gtk.so
ln -s /usr/lib/gtk+-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gtk.so 
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gtk.so
ln -s /usr/lib/gtk+-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gtk2.so 
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libglobalmenu-gtk2.so
For full gtk2 support:
export GTK_MODULES=globalmenu-gtk:globalmenu-gtk2
And a bonus screenshot:

So the modules are installed to an incorrect location. 
I've posted an alpha2 test release where you can specify the whereabouts of the 
GTK3 and GTK2 modules directory with two newly added configure variables:
GTK3_MODULES_DIR and GTK2_MODULES_DIR. just point them to where your disto 
store the gtk modules. (eg, do a locate libcanberra.so)

Also make sure globalmenu.sh is installed to /etc, but /usr/etc with 
--sysconfdir=/etc
in configure; or GTK_MODUELS environment won't be correctly set.

I am not sure about the 'full gtk2 support'. Once installed correctly the gtk2 
and gtk3 modules will have the same names and you don't need the 
globalmenu-gtk2 entry to get gtk2 work.

I wrote the instructions abiglinu was quoting above, and building with 
GTK{2,3}_MODULES_DIR set to the corresponding directories for make install 
works fine. 

globalmenu.sh is not included in the tarball is it? Could be easily 
autogenerated though. 

The need for GTK_MODULES to include globalmenu-gtk2 was due to a 
misunderstanding of the Archlinux toolchain on my side. The 
libglobalmenu-gtk.so -> libglobalmenu-gtk2.so symlink was pointing at my 
building directory.

It was actually a typo in the Makefile. the symlink was pointing to 
libglobalmneu-gtk2.so. I posted a fix as alpha3.
