Comment 30 for bug 673302

Well, it is not fixed for my installation of Ubuntu 12.04 - an upgrade from 11.10 - and for the emacs-snapshot from ppa:cassou/emacs. The global menu only shows the standard Emacs menu, regardless of Emacs mode or functionality that should change the menu.

The emacs-snapshot package contains an 'emacs-snapshot' binary and an 'emacs' binary. The 'emacs-snapshot' binary uses the global menu (which remains fixed), the 'emacs' binary uses its own menu which is dynamic.
