To remove it, open a terminal and paste this sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt You may need to restart your computer afterwards. If you wver want them back, simply reinstall the packages. bulletmark 2012-03-16T16:27:31+08:002012-03-16T16:27:31+08:00 Yes there is a better way than removing the appmenu packages. Just type the following: echo '[ ${DESKTOP_SESSION#ubuntu} = $DESKTOP_SESSION ] && unset UBUNTU_MENUPROXY' | sudo tee /etc/X11/Xsession.d/81ubuntu-menu-proxy This will fix the gnome-shell problem but not affect Unity, nor Unity-2D.
