My wild guess is that this is caused by unity-gtk-module, which tries
to remove gtkmenubars from everything (including panel applets).

When starting gnome-panel with env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= (empty string),
adding appmenu applet no longer breaks application/places menu, but
still breaks other indicators (perhaps because they use separate
processes).

Will continue investigations later.
