Description Faizal Luthfi 2013-01-22 22:58:13 UTC 
Run application as root cause application icon in top panel to does not have app menu
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2013-01-23 03:51:46 UTC 
thats a consequence of how the app menu is implemented. binaries that are running as another user don't have access to your session bus. Thus, they don't have an app menu and are not fully integrated in the session in various other ways.
Comment 2 Giovanni Campagna 2013-01-23 14:58:28 UTC 
As Matthias said, plus WONTFIX, because we can't really.
