Have confirmed here by reverting to the previous package version, after a logout/in the gm on desktop returns

( a slight add. regression is it's back to an older behavior of - that the gm on desktop is not available till something, (anything,) is opened. Then it shows up
This, ^ , was not related to any of the other indicator updates, something else today

Curious that I'm the only one even though seen on 2 machines with less than week old installs - so -

Did a fresh install from the 03/13 i386 iso (like many current iso's a bit of a challenge to install from but doable
Anyway the install is fine except no global menu is seen when focus is on the desktop (as reported here

Reverting back to appmenu-gtk_0.1.95-0ubuntu1, a logout/in and they are back as expected.

Appears here that the commit of rev 125 has caused this menu to disappear, confirmed here as such on a fresh 03/19 install

Works fine now w/ rev 131, though still has behavior of not appearing on start up till something is opened first. (unity

Probably not worth a bug on that, just glad to see returned, should prove a positive for some users.
