gedit top menu invisible when started from terminal and using x11-Forwarding
Solution 1:
I found the answer after all:
If you're using X11 forwarding, don't forget to look at the ~/.config/ for the user actually running gedit! Not the ~/.config/ of the user that the application is displayed in!
In this particular case, deleting the ~/.config/gedit solved this particular problem as gedit just recreates it afterwards. (dumb me: I should have renamed it and looked what the differences were, so I could have posted the perfect answer, but at the time, I was trying to solve another problem)
Original answer:
Too bad no one found any answer, so I'll post my own work-arounds as a "solution"
(I know though they're not really "solutions"; they're just "work-arounds")
- Use the toolbar for the most-often used commands.
- Use the Keyboard short-cuts: As the only menu-item I'm really missing from the toolbar is "File - Save As", I just press Alt+F and the menu seems to be coming out of the system menu when using this workaround. Then just press A for "As" and you get to the "Save As" dialog...
The same system can be used for Edit, View, Search, Tools, Documents and Help
