Bug Description
Binary package hint: drpython
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10
DrPython used to have a menu bar with typical menus like "File", "Edit", "Help" and so on, but since the update to 10.10 these are no longer present. As far as I can tell, the menu is still defined in the DrPython source code, since it shows up on a Windows XP machine.
I've tried to determine if this is a wxPython bug by running the script shown at:

I believe that this should also show a menu bar, but on my system it does not.
Thank you for your time.

This is a general bug in Ubuntu/Kubuntu
in any wxPython program (my own, the wxPython Demo...) Menu bars do not display, although shortcut keys, that are defined in the same code lines, still work (ctrl-a for an 'about' dialogue for example). Doesn't matter if the program is invoked from terminal or by double-clicking a .py file.
Added weirdness: Menu bars work fine on the Netbook interface.
Extra added weirdness: When running code from within the Eclipse IDE, menu bars DO show!
Very bad bug. Stops developers from using Python/wxPython to develop for Ubuntu. For me it's a 'find another distro' situation.
All my code works OK on OSX and all flavours of Windows...
