Global Menu for XFCE4 not shown in panel elements

Buongiorno @Flusso_Canalizzatore ,
As written here:
This package makes the stable packages, no suffix. The -git packages are incompatible. If you want to switch to the -git packages, uninstall all related packages. Then build and install in this order:

  • appmenu-glib-translator-git
  • vala-panel-git
  • vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git

having dome these installations you can add Panel 2 by right-clicking to Panel 1 > Panel > Panel Preferences +


As you know Firefox is by default not the best for testing. Try libreoffice or

Edit 1:
An old topic was here
As it doesn’t work with all aplications out of curiosity I checked in Manjaro XFCE
with this https://gist.github.com/megacos/6a4fdccee5afb10d50843e199c2f6831
It behaves better.
Edit 2:
Overview/Summary: You belong to a minority with XFCE not to mention Global menu in it.

From scratch:

yay mate-terminal
yay appmenu-glib-translator-git
yay vala-panel-git
yay vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git
yay vala-panel-appmenu-registrar-git
yay ungoogled-chromium-bin

xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/ShellShowsMenubar -n -t bool -s true
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/ShellShowsAppmenu -n -t bool -s true
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/titleless_maximize -s true
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/Modules -n -t string -s "appmenu-gtk-module"

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/button_layout -s "O|HMC"
OR if you don't feel the OSX window keys setting i.e. less mouse movements
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/button_layout -s "CHM|O"

brave-bin browser is also supports Global menu…
I swear i saw Firefox global menu but did not make a backup.
KDE provides this by default but this above works for the few people who prefer XFCE.

EDIT 3:
Re manuel’s question Wayland on XFCE.
Having installed
labwc
wayland session lets me in. How to go further?
Is this ‘drink’ – XFCE on wayland – ready for consumption?
