Unity GTK module didn't get install when upgrading from 12.04

That's quite weird, can you provide screenshots to show that and your env variables?

Screenshot of maximized terminal. Menu is not global.

It's weird that you only get this on few apps, but it looks that the UBUNTU_MENUPROXY env variable is not exported there, try to launch the terminal with
  UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="1" gnome-terminal --disable-factory

Will it work?

Also, what you get doing:
  gsettings list-recursively com.canonical.unity-gtk-module

The problem persists:
0 jan@osprey:~$UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="1" gnome-terminal --disable-factory

(gnome-terminal:5404): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_settings_get: the format
string may not contain '&' (key 'monospace-font-name' from schema
'org.gnome.desktop.interface'). This call will probably stop working with a
future version of glib.
0 jan@osprey:~$gsettings list-recursively com.canonical.unity-gtk-module
No such schema 'com.canonical.unity-gtk-module'

Mh, so it looks you're missing the gtk module for that:
  sudo apt-get install unity-gtk3-module

Yes, installed that, and it is fixed after a reboot.
Strage that it was not installed after a do-release-upgrade from 12.04.
It seems to be Recommends:

Perhaps it should be Depends: somewhere?

I can confirm this bug. Fixed after installing unity-gtk3-module.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
