I've been playing around with the GNOME 3 Shell and like it very much so far.

But I've installed an extension that provides application menu pushing to the topbar. I think it's a great idea to allow the user to choose where she does want to see her menu.

However there's a bug in that extension: whenever I turn it off – my menu disappears. It's now just nonexistent so I can't really File > Quit or anything like that.

So I'd like to know how to repair my GNOME now. I've tried 

dpkg-reconfigure gnome-shell

… but no success, no output.

P.S. it's called global menu extension, the deb package is in official Ubuntu repositories, so it's called gnome3-globalmenu.

  • rm /etc/profile.d/globalmenu.sh did the job. It exported a GTK_MODULE and the uninstaller forgot to remove that I've found that by looking the contents of a deb package – Bubba88 Feb 14 '12 at 21:16
