the file exporting the variable is shipped with appmenu-gtk so should be cleaned with it but it would be nice to make it handle the case where it's still installed correctly

Changed in appmenu-gtk (Ubuntu):

summary:	- leaves UBUNTU_MENUPROXY in the environment after uninstallation + the xsession script should set the variable only if the needed file is + installed

Checking for the existance of the module would need to happen in 80appmenu, which is from the upstream source. We still need to deal with the clean up in the package as well though.

This bug was fixed in the package appmenu-gtk - 0.1.94-0ubuntu1

---------------
appmenu-gtk (0.1.94-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    ∘ Check for existence of the menu-proxy before using it (LP: #674047)
    ∘ Black list Eclipse for now

Aparantly running GTK2 and GTK3 applications side by side gives problems too. The script /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80appmenu is now checking if the file /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies/libappmenu.so exists and then puts the environment variable in place. This crashes GTK3 applications.

could you open a bug about the new issue describing what appmenu-gtk or appmenu-gtk3 binaries are installed and what segfault you get?
