Jorge Castro: Application Menu Status for 19 August

Hear ye, hear ye,

It’s been a while since the last application menu status. Since the last one the app menu developers have had a sprint, a bunch of other work in Unity, including some holidays as well as a new child process in Ted’s case, so now things can settle and be back to “normal”:

Here are the changelogs:
https://code.launchpad.net/~indicator-applet-developers/indicator-appmenu/trunk
https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-dx-team/appmenu-gtk/trunk

Most of the work is now feature complete, here are the bugs which are currently “hot” on the radar for the team which have the most priority:

• https://bugs.launchpad.net/appmenu-gtk/+bug/604668 - extra registrations create applications slowness
• https://bugs.launchpad.net/appmenu-gtk/+bug/611636 - Alt-shortcuts display submenus of the local menu bar (this is the famous “shows in the app instead of the top bar” bug)
• https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/607114 - Supportmenu activation via the keyboard
• https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/591186 - Present aspecial menu for the desktop
• https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/591188 - Manageunresponsive applications
