Today, when I launched Audacity on my Kubuntu 12.10, I was greeted with a window with no menubar for File, Edit, etc. It reminded me of how there are no longer menubars in a lot of Windows apps.

Well, my menus are there... but YUCK! |
How To Fix It
Simply uninstall appmenu-gtk and appmenu-gtk3. Restart your apps, and your menus will be back!

sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3
If I had to guess, GTK apps must install these packages by default since that's what they'd need in Ubuntu. However, these packages are just dumb for KDE users. Thankfully, the fix is very easy.
