msjnc menu doesn't work on Ubuntu Unity?

[vorburger]

Hi @madscientist, thank you for msjnc! ;-)

I had your v2.4 (27 Sep 2012) completely working for a long time, and Connect still does, but it looks like some Ubuntu update broke its menu bar - both in the Appearance Behaviour "Show the menus for a Window In the menu bar" as well as with the "In the window's title bar" setting, is that possible? Perhaps you need to upgrade the GUI toolkit library?

I've just tried out the v2.5 (17 Feb 2013), but with that the GUI never even shows up. For both 2.4 and 2.5 the ~/.msjnc.log only shows "MadScientist JNC Session Manager ..." and "Started graphical session with PID ..", without any errors.

Let me know if I can provide any further information (versions of any libraries or such), or if you would like me to try something from an experimental branch to see if it helps with this.

I got the menu working on Unity after I run the program with sudo and --root.

It also worked --fg for me (safer to use than --root).

I also ran into this issue today on Ubuntu 16.04. --fg worked great. Thanks!
