Menus in gnome-session-flashback following improper schema?

Erick,
1) Main Menu applet loads wrong .menu file, that bug is fixed upstream. Does Menu Bar applet work like it should? Just to make sure that this bug is realy only about loading wrong file.

2) You need to start gnome-flashback, then Power Off should work. But gnome-flashback should be started before you try to power off or restart.

Dmitry,
1) Main Menu applet problem is fixed upstream:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-panel/commit/?id=5209462c4b47706a1b9317d1eca81235a2b5d8a1

2) Looks like you will need to autostart gnome-flashback. Looks like there is many people that does not use standart/default configuration.

1) What do you mean by "menus can't be properly edited"? Does alacarte work for you?

2) Re restart and shutdown buttons -- this can be the case if you use the buttons from gnome-panel (not indicator-session). Is there any reason for not using indicators?

Alberts, OK, I will backport the patch and autostart gnome-flashback.

Will the end-session-dialog module be enough? (Btw it would be nice if it allowed specifying list of modules on commandline in addition to gsettings).

Yes, it should be enough.

Upstream have removed 'menus-have-icons' setting from schemas since 3.9.5 version. I guess ubuntu is reverting it.

should be enough to get back images in menus in gnome-panel.

But that key will be removed sooner or later so my plan is to make menu applets configurable where user can choose if he wants images in menus or not. Other way to fix is simply to patch gnome-panel and set it to always show images in menus.

"Other way to fix is simply to patch gnome-panel and set it to always show images in menus."

I think that would be preferable. To me it always just looks odd that those few objects in the tree view have no icons whereas all the other objects do. Of course that was a change made in GNOME 2 some months or years prior to the release of GNOME 3.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-panel - 1:3.14.0-2ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-panel (1:3.14.0-2ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/applications_menu.patch:
    Backport upstream change to use correct file name for main menu.
    This fixes the gnome-panel part of LP: #1433246.
  * debian/patches/revert_menu_images_removal.patch:
    Temporarily revert upstream change to remove use of gtk-menu-images
    setting, as we still have this key in our gsettings-desktop-schemas.

Alberts, do we need to start any components other than end-session-dialog, or should I disable them all in gsettings?

Nevermind the last question, I see you already said that end-session-dialog is enough.
