i'm not sure i follow here.  i've been running lazarus gtk2 under
debain testing for more than a year.

the menu hiding thing i don't understand either, but you can do it
manually on gtk2 with gtk_widget_hide(PGtkWidget(MainMenu.Handle));
and show again with gtk_widget_show.  you can see if it's visible with
gtk_widget_visible (surprise).

(i've gone back to debian from ubuntu, fwiw)
