Comment 45 for bug 661450

I think a bug I am getting may be related to this one on Natty with Unity. I am using an older HP Notebook with the Ubuntu provided ATI drivers (no proprietary drivers available). When I plug in a monitor, it mirrors the desktop and programs fine.

However, the first thing noticed is that the search and shortcuts menu icon in the upper left above the Unity launch bar is missing and clicking that area does nothing. As of now, the shutdown menu works. However, If I open a program and then close or minimize it, the classic menu now appears on both screens: File - Edit - View - Places - Help. As I am using Unity and not classic, these headings are not normally there. That in itself is not annoying, but while the notification / menu bar shows the above menu headings, the menus do not appear on either the notebook or monitor screen when clicked. This now includes the shutdown menu not working. If I open a program again, the program menu headings now appear and the program menus work properly, but never the OS menus. Luckily I kept the terminal in the launcher so I can shutdown running the sudo halt command. Doing an empty selection on the desktop does not work.
