        i've seen this  and don't like it; i'd rather have every
        Konsole have its own menubar.  same with other GUI apps.




        hmm.  i'm still not 100.0% certain of this, but here is what
        i've learned: in my compile script is `pgk-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` 
        that follows the gcc [stuff].  at least for ubuntu linux, i
        need the `gtk-config --cflags [etc]` 

        according to what i can find on google, it looks as tho the
        gtk-config command might only be available for the i386 ... 

        i took a simp;le gtk C src along with my compile script and
        scp'd them over to my netbook.  ran the script and exec'd
        the binary.  it produced a gtk widget with the menubar and 
        "File .... Help" and twso buttons in the lower left.  

        it may be hthat ubuntu is moving toward gtk-3.0   and
        dropping the older releases.  {?}
