Where did the menu bars from my applications go in GNOME Shell?

I'm running ubuntu 11.10, and all the menu-bars (File, Options, etc ) from applications like gedit & co are gone.

For some applications that is not a problem, because there are still icons I can click on, but for other applications I need to access their menu bar. So how can I get the menu-bars back?

EDIT:
I'm using gnome-shell not unity.

I figured out & solved the problem:

Because of a LightDM bug, I was always logged into Unity. Then, on a terminal I would do:

gnome-shell --replace &

If you do that, GNOME Shell does indeed start, but the programs' menubars are not visible. If I however circumvent the the LightDM bug and make sure I get logged into GNOME Shell right away, the menubars appear as expected. so this seems to be some kind of weird LightDM / Unity / GNOME Shell interaction bug.
