[Sugar-devel] Fedora 22 destroys Gtk.Menu based palettes

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Ouch.
Too bad nobody reported this before.
I remember a similar error fixed by b9d6b628a98fc17f5e92a344450b6336f1a2b2ce
We don't want invest more time in the Gtk.Menu palettes,
but would be great find a fix to ship Sugar in F22 on shape.
