Description Winston Nolan 2018-02-13 10:02:59 UTC 
This menu does not show at all. Clicking on Application settings > Application style > Widget style > Fine tuning does not even show the menu bar style option.

Please can you show me the output of running

qdbus org.kde.kappmenuview
Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-02-13 13:03:40 UTC 
The option has been removed, the menu service hould automatically start when a menu plasmoid or window button is added.

Hi, Output below

Holy Moly! After I removed dbus from my system, essentially wrecking it, leaving my laptop unusable, and downloading deb by deb from another laptop, I got it up again - wow

qdbus org.kde.kappmenuview now outputs

ok, winston do you have an icon that looks like =  (but with three lines) in your window decoration?

If so, you can choose to remove it from systemsettings -> appearance -> window decorations ->buttons


If not... can I see your ~/.config/kwinrc?

kwinrc

I cannot see the icon in my window decoration. I am using the active window control widget, if that helps. Attached is my kwinrc file. Thanks for helping <3

Can I see a screenshot?

There isn't meant to be an option there. 

The (alleged) but is not having menus in apps, whilst claiming not to have the global menu plasmoid / app menus turned off in window decos.
