AppMenu is only used when running under GNOME, when using any other DE
it's not used.
FWIW, you can get the old behaviour back under GNOME by editing the
'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides' key:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides
"{'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': <0>}"
In some apps like gedit this should make the AppMenu contain only on
entry "Quit", and Preferences and About are moved back to their place
in the main gedit window.
Confirm
used dconf-editor instead to set the overrides and now those entries
appear within gedit.
