Here’s a new howto explaining the steps to compile, install and enable the gnome-globalmenu-0.7 series from trunk on your desktop.

Big thanks to rainwoodman and lviggiani for their awesome work on this very useful application. Continue reading »

Here’s a new howto explaining the steps to compile, install and enable the gnome-globalmenu-0.6 on your desktop.
This has been tested on Ubuntu intrepid ibex but it should work on hardy too. It should also work with other distributions, except for the first step.
Globalmenu works with “real” gtk applications. That means globalmenu will not work with firefox and openoffice.
Another note : globalmenu doesn’t require anymore to patch libgtk, good news
Big thanks to rainwoodman for his awesome work on this very useful applet.
A new version of this guide is now available here
