[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 743265] Re: when using unity, the cities menu is not shown

[Jacob Nevins]

I tried this out with a local build of freeciv-gtk2 (2.3.x code) on
Ubuntu 10.10 (netbook edition) running Unity. It's worse than I thought:
the normal in-game menu bar[*] doesn't seem to be accessible in any
circumstances. This makes the game unplayable, IMO.

[*] by which I mean
Game/Edit/View/Select/Unit/Work/Combat/Civilization/Help

(If I bring up the Cities report, then the menubar at the top of the
screen becomes the one that should be embedded in the report --
Production/Governor/etc. Not sure if the original reporter sees this
too?)

I haven't tried newer, all-Unity versions of Ubuntu. Does the menubar-
stealing affect desktop use as well as netbook use? i.e., does this make
Freeciv unplayable on the default install of Ubuntu Natty?

Is there any kind of programmer's reference or other documentation that
will tell us how to make Freeciv's use of menubars compatible with this
environment? Or is it a bug that needs fixing in the Unity stuff?
