Bug#773644: gnome-session-flashback: Applications with header bar do not show fallback menus in flashback session, no way to access menu

[Florian]

Package: gnome-session-flashback
Version: 3.8.1-7
Severity: important

Gnome applications with header bar do not show their fallback menus in flashback
session. I also tried the newer flashback package from experimental, but without
success. This seems to be related to this list message:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-flashback-list/2014-September/msg00019.html

I have not found any indication that these patches already exist, but maybe someone
with knowledge of these things does know what to do here? I think this problem
quite severely limits the usability of several gnome applications in the flashback
session currently in jessie.

thanks
