back to Qt 4.7.2 libraries for compile platform (Ubuntu 11.10 libmenu issue with Qt 4.7.4)
Ubuntu Unity notes:
a) to remove Global Menu: sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt
which is revertible: sudo apt-get install appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt
b) to run DVDx 4 with the menu inside the application window and not on the Unity panel
(which is not a regular Gnome Panel!): UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 dvdx4
c) to run DVDx 4 with the menu in both the Unity panel and the application window,
like so: APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1 dvdx4
