Bug Description

Since updating to 0.2.16, some applications such as virt-manager are no longer using the global menu, but instead place menus in their own window.

Steps to reproduce:

1- Make sure liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0=0.2.16-0ubuntu1 is installed
2- Run virt-manager, notice menus are in the application window
3- Downgrade liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0 to version 0.2.15-0ubuntu1
4- Run virt-manager, notice it's now using global menus

I've confirmed this, I can't see how it could affect the menus. Also, looking at the diff between 0.2.15 and 0.2.16 there is very little change that isn't gtk3 specific.

g_settings_new ("org.gnome.desktop.interface");
triggers the issue. Why? No idea.

Marking "Incomplete" is weird, but I am not sure the real bug is on my side, maybe I'm just "triggering it".

Curiously, launching virt-manager with --no-fork makes it behave properly.

Darn, this is also breaking virt-manager's appindicator support.

Probably an issue with GTK3?

OK, I've managed to work around it in virt-manager. I'll upload the work-around tomorrow. Hopefully nothing else is impacted by it.
