Under Unity I get search results, but under Gnome 3.6 I don't get any for the same parameters. Is there something easy I can do so that applications run under Gnome have their menu contents available for the HUD too? </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> For GTK+ applications to export their menu items they need to load the appmenu-gtk module. That's done by the environment variable <TT>UBUNTU_MENUPROXY</TT> which is set to <TT>libappmenu.so</TT>. That should have the various applications export their menus. Things are changing though. For instance the HUD DBus interface is changing with HUD 2.0. Though, there is now a libhud-client which might make it easier for you to create an alternative client. Also, we're moving away from appmenu-gtk to a GTK module that exports the items as GMenuModel items instead of as DBusmenu. But you shouldn't see that from the client perspective. Good luck!
