Global Menu Applet malfunctions

[fossfreedom]

In the greater scheme of things that is pretty minor. If anyone finds how to resolve then please shout.

Edit:

Actually this has been resolved.

Global Menu Desktop/System

ok - the brilliant deduction by @samlane - the issue is within the global menu applet itself. Sam has pushed a pull-request and the upstream maintainer has accepted it This fix will be in the next release version of the global menu - that will depend when the maintainer releases a new version/microrelease - and then when the Debian maintainer packages it.
