Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2020-02-27 13:29:46 UTC
Are these applications using GTK3 for the menus?
Comment 3 joey.joey586 2020-03-11 19:30:00 UTC
yes, I think they are using GTK3
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2020-03-11 21:24:52 UTC
Do you have a process 'gmenudbusmenuproxy' running? Check with Ctrl+Esc.
Comment 5 joey.joey586 2020-03-12 09:19:48 UTC
yes, that process is running but gimp doesnt put its menu on the global menubar
Comment 6 joey.joey586 2020-03-15 07:26:46 UTC
I found the solution: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=238072

Turns out I didn't have these packages installed, thus it wouldnt work
