If I enable the global menu and open a new instance of (for instance) Dolphin, the global menu will work. However, if I log out and log back in (restoring previous session), the instance of Dolphin loads up, but the menu is completely gone. That is, the menu is now neither in the Dolphin window nor in the plasma panel. This is consistent across KDE programs.
The menu in Dolphin is completely gone then? Global menu also does not appear when you focus another window and focus back into Dolphin? Can you provide the output of xprop (launch xprop from console and click the Dolphin window) when you have this problem, the output should have something like _KDE_NET_WM_APPMENU_OBJECT_PATH and _KDE_NET_WM_APPMENU_SERVICE_NAME. If that's missing, it might give a clue what's going on.

>The menu in Dolphin is completely gone then? Global menu also does not appear when you focus another window and focus back into Dolphin? Yes, it looks like the screenshot I attached. >Can you provide the output of xprop (launch xprop from console and click the Dolphin window) when you have this problem, the output should have something like _KDE_NET_WM_APPMENU_OBJECT_PATH and _KDE_NET_WM_APPMENU_SERVICE_NAME. If that's missing, it might give a clue what's going on. OK, I attached a log of the output.
Thanks. Seems the app starts quite soon on startup at a point where the appmenu kded module isn't loaded yet and as such there's no dbus menu service running and the app won't export its menu.

> shouldn't watch for the service to appear as well? From what I can tell Qt's platform menu stuff doesn't support changing at runtime. If you create a QMenuBar it will look for a service and then export a menu and hide the in-window one and that's it.
I noticed that sometimes after session restore - global menu widget is displaying menu for one instance of two, sometimes for none and sometimes for both instances of same launched app in: Plasma: 5.11.5 Apps: 17.12.1 Qt: 5.10.0 Frameworks: 5.42.0 Kernel: 4.14.14-1-MANJARO tried with Konsole, Dolphin and Kate

Suffering the same issue. Couldn't this be fixed in ksmserver instead? Please see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397638

Is this still an issue with the systemd boot process in recent Plasma versions?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #11) > Is this still an issue with the systemd boot process in recent Plasma > versions? Haven't seen this issue for quite a long time. I use systemdBoot=true setting in startkderc file. Maybe I'm just a lucky one, need more confirmations.
