Bug Description

In software-center some items in the "Edit" menu are enabled when they are not in the original menu. Once I've opened that menu in the original menu bar, the global menu gets updated and everything seems fine. In shotwell you can see that problem in every menu but "Help".

indicator-appmenu:
  Installed: 0.0.8-0ubuntu1
appmenu-gtk:
  Installed: 0.1.1-0ubuntu1

Hmm, can you be a bit more specific about the menu entries that should be enabled (or disabled). I can really reproduce the issue here with the same versions.

Ok, cool. seb128 also came to show me the bug. Now I do confirm i saw it ;)

Cody: here is how you can spot the issue with shotwell:
1. start the application with: APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1 shotwell
2. Open the 'Events' menu *on the panel*: notice that the 'New events' entry is enabled
3. Open the 'Events' menu *within the application window*: notice that the 'New events' entry is *disabled*
4. Open the 'Events' menu *on the panel*: notice that the 'New events' entry is now disabled

If it helps, in software-center, we set the menuitems to be sensitive/insensitive when the toplevel menuitem is activated.

So in:
on_menuitem_edit_activate()
we check a few things and then:
menuitem_copy.set_sensitive()
based on these checks.

Is it maybe that appmenu isn't sending out these activate signals? Or that it is dynamically updating the sensitivity of the items? If you need some more info on how SC's menus are working, please don't hesitate to post a reply.
