I'm Trying to disable the App Menu feature (which drops all applications menu to the top panel) on Ubuntu 11.10.

Two solutions found up to now :

sudo apt-get autoremove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt

or 

echo "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" | sudo tee /etc/X11/Xsession.d/81ubuntumenuproxy

Both are system wide solutions. How could I set it in the user environment? I tried to set it in ~/.xprofile ... without success.

Thanks,

Jorge Castro

Several options for current-user-only and system-wide global menu disabling can be found here:

  • @ObsessiveFOSS: Why? Should I have duplicated the information from the linked answer in order to make this a proper answer? Isn't that problematic in case of updates to the linked answer? – Håkon A. Hjortland Jul 11 '12 at 23:50
  • The general consensus agrees that only a link and intro text is better as a comment, while actual content exceeding a link is an answer. – nanofarad Jul 12 '12 at 13:02
  • OK. I don't quite understand why that would be better, at least in this case, but I will keep it in mind for next time. Thanks for the feedback. – Håkon A. Hjortland Jul 12 '12 at 14:11
