enabling/disabling Menubar does nothing

The issue happens only when using a global-menu environment. Marlin should disable the AppMenu and the toggle option when a global menu is detected, to avoid having redundancy in the UI.

It's not up to Marlin to enable or disable system environment variables because of appmenu bugs.
I am fed up on the appmenu disaster ....

The bug is known i am tired of reporting duplicated entries, you know where to look

@ammonkey, comment #2: I hate that kind of attitudes ;-)

Look, the bug you linked is unrelated. I have not seen any dupes of this. Global menu is not a disaster. And Firefox does this nicely, it hides the Firefox menu when you enable a global menu. This is not about Unity, this is about user choices; you can enable a third party appmenu applet even in classic session. I thought elementary was about design. I can contribute a patch, but if you are tired of this...

To which bug are you referring to? Anyway, that's unrelated to this Marlin issue.

That kind of hateful things destroy the community, this is open source, babe!

As I said, Firefox avoids redundancy by removing its menu button when a global menu applet is detected, so it only shows up if you're using GNOME Shell, for example. It is a little nice detail that adds polish.

It's so unrelated that if u have read the bug report i was refering to, u would have found:

gnome-terminal's setting "Show menubar by default in new terminals" appears to work now with gtk+ 3.3.6-0ubuntu3 for Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise" in GNOME Shell.

i tested it in a vm and it appears to work. Toggle show/hide menubar make our appmenu button to show/hide in marlin. The menubar won't show up in the window which considering the globalmenu is there is kinda normal, i suppose.
This is close to the "normal" behavior (in non appmenu-gtk environment), marlin show hide the menubar and show/hide the appmenu button depending on the visibility of the menubar to avoid duplicated UI.

In the meantime if u can't wait for precise, you can fix all the menubar issues by deleting appmenu-gtk alike packages or by setting an environment variable, all already described in the link i already gave. Again this bug is duplicate of you know exactly which bug, it's only the 50th time i am referring to it....

I let you close this bug.

Now waiting for the next appmenu bug ... and yeah i told you so.
