I tested and yes the AppMenu doesn't show for apps run as root.
As I posted before, you can force apps run under gnome-shell to show
all their menus in their own windows and not rely on AppMenu by
running this command as user in terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides
"{'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': <0>}"
ALL RIGHT!!!! This works! Thanks for all the private help to run it
right as user. gedit shelled to root now has preferences so I was able
to turn off text wrap.
Also makes Nautilus behave better IMHO. But I still can't get trees
instead of places. Have found out how to get folders showing trees, but
not on the left. Makes dragging and dropping a real drag.
