you can do before patching gtk+ Code:

sudo apt-get install ...packages from the list above...

Second way :

Install the mac menu applet deb package (link at the bottom of the page) [#one 1], then in a terminal, type in this to install apt-build

Code:

sudo apt-get install apt-build

Choose to add apt-build repository to your sources.list when asked.

After, I told apt-build to get libgtk2.0-0 source package (apt-build takes care of the build deps for you, ie: -dev packages) You need to have the ubuntu sources repositories enabled (menu System > Administration > Software sources, then pick Ubuntu software tab and check Source Code box). Code:

sudo apt-build source libgtk2.0-0

Next step was to copy the dowloaded patch [#two 2] from where is was (on the desktop in _this_ case, replace "~/Destop/" with the path where you downloaded the gzipped patch) to the libgtk2.0-0 source package directory Code:

gzip -d ~/Destop/099_mac_menubar.patch.gz
sudo cp ~/Desktop/099_mac_menubar.patch /var/cache/apt-build/build/gtk+2.0-2.12.0/debian/patches/

And, add its name to the debian/patches/series list Code:

sudo vi /var/cache/apt-build/build/gtk+2.0-2.12.0/debian/patches/series

Now we use use apt-build to build the packages Code:

sudo apt-build install libgtk2.0-0

After that you'll have an update for libgtk in your update manager, let update manager install them and finally,add the applet to the top panel. Now you need to log out/in gnome to see the changes.
