Globalmenu appears while gtk menu still shows in Xfce

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This issue appears in globalmenu 0.7.9 or GIT version.

PS: new GTK_MODULE is "globalmenu-plugins" instead of "globalmenu-gnome".

According to the developer:
The xfce plugin is broken. It is not aware of the new settings mechanism.
As a rather incovenient wordaround, you can modify the visibility of app's 
local menu bar with 
/usr/bin/globalmenu-settings show-local-menu FALSE

i tried to set GTK_MODULES="globalmenu-gnome-panel" but no effect.

is this module include "Application Place System" menu in gnome?

PS: seems globalmenu for xfce4-panel didn't need gnome-menus any more

Seems i need to run "/usr/bin/globalmenu-settings show-local-menu FALSE" 
everytime i 
login.

i didn't find a place to config this in gconf-editor.

I can confirm this with version 0.7.9 from the Ubuntu Lucid PPA.

I can't use the workaround, because /usr/bin/globalmenu-settings doesn't exist.

Confirmed as an issue under FBSD/Xfce4 at version 0.7.9.  Interestingly if I 
load the
gnome menubar plugin through the XFapplet the menu bars start acting correctly, 
but
that presents it's own problems.  As such perhaps there is a check to see if the
applet is running before hiding the menubar, or more likely the xfce native 
plugin
does not set the show-local-menu value correctly (since the afformentioned 
workaround
works).

@inetperson: my binary for globalmenu-settings is in /usr/local/bin, you might 
try
doing a search of the drive for a file by that name, if running it without a 
full
path doesn't work.

for now I have added the command to the xinitrc beside setting the env variable 
to
load it for xfce in the first place, and appears to be working (restarted xfce, 
but
haven't tried a reboot yet)

and when I go back to the top I realize my speculation is pointless as it is 
written
out explicitly there, note to self: *read twice comment once*

The PPA packages don't install anything to /usr/local/bin, and they shouldn't. 
The 
globalmenu-settings utility should be in /usr/bin, and it's missing.
