gcalc: Has no window menu. It only has a global app menu which also contains window-specific stuff. Switching the mode to "scientific" for example doesn't affect the application, it affects the current active window (And there can be multiple calculator windows). Is this covered by some gnome guideline or is this just laziness because the gcalc developers didn't had any other place for this window-specific mode setting?
gnome-calculator was changed into a single-window app when the app menu was added. That was subsequently reverted, leading to the mess you see now. Obviously it needs to be fixed. Nautilus Enter Location also needs removed I think; I filed [1] Anyway this topic keeps coming up because it has never been properly addressed. There are some (insufficient) guidelines for app menus at [2]. Developers kind of make up their own (look at Evince for a particularly interesting interpretation). You might find [3] both informative and inconclusive. Cheers.
