[SOLVED]kdeplasma-applets-menubar doesn't work.

I've just installed the following applications:
    kdeplasma-applets-menubar,
    libdbusmenu,
    libdbusmenu-qt,
    appmenu-gtk,
    appmenu-qt.
But kdeplasma-applets-menubar doesn't work on my KDE4.10. The menu still show in the window and the applet only has the onmipresent "File" menu.

Re: [SOLVED]kdeplasma-applets-menubar doesn't work.

Go to 'System Settings' -> 'Application Appearance' -> 'Style' -> 'Fine Tuning' and change 'Menubar style' to 'Only export'. Just checked, works fine with qt applications.

I'm not sure about gtk apps, though. I recall reading somewhere that, in addition to installing appmenu-gtk and its dependencies, one needed to specify something in the .gtkrc and/or .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file(s). Well that or my memory might just be playing tricks on me.

EDIT:
If for some reason gtk apps refuse to export their menus, you might want to look at this webupd8 article. Good luck!
