Comment 4 for bug 606470

I looked at the patch, and it's only a workaround: for monodevelop it doesn't fix the stated bug of "doesn't show its menu in the panel"

I think it's better to not display this as "fix released": this way when browsing monodevelop bugs in ubuntu it'll show up...

On the other hand, Since I'm personally interested in solving this bug i was already looking forward to gather info to fix it...

i started with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationMenu ...and unfortunately i stopped there (both dbusmenu-dumper and current-menu aren't able to find the menu... maybe i'll fix a bug about that, but i'm not yet sure about it, i would like to test them a little bit more)

Cody, from your july message i see that you have definitely some insight on the cause of the bug, and you said also that anyone is welcome to come and try to fix the bug...
it's that still so, or are you working directly on it now?
(Obviously i'd like to help, but i have other duties and cannot guarantee anything)

In case, how do you think it should be fixed?
Inside monodevelop, making it fire a dbus message (i've not yet looked into the exact mechanism that it's been used, so sorry for my imprecision) each time that it adds an item to the menu?
Inside gtk/appmenu-gtk, to get this working in every other application that is creating menu dinamically like monodevelop?

Thank you for any guidance
