When going to the dev console, I'm getting :
Errors tab :
"While loading extension from
/usr/share/gnome-shell/extentions/Globa...@globalmenu.org :
missing 'main' function"

Confirmed, I'm getting the same. Oddly, running "sudo
gnome-globalmenu-manager" from gnome-terminal seems fine (no errors
thrown) although it doesn't connect to my gnome-shell session.

Confirmed. Would love a fix for this. I grow tired of the menu bars in some
of my apps.

All the best,
