Appmenu doesn't appear for windows spawned from tray icons.
The current behavior of LIM is flaky if windows spawn/de-spawn. I currently have Strawberry Music Player (Qt5) with the tray icon enabled to toggle the main window. If I were to press 'X' to close the window, but re-spawn it by pressing the tray icon, the window will appear with no menu. It can be replicated every time, and it can be done with multiple applications. The Claws E-mail Client has a similar issue, but it happens every time the main window is toggled with the tray icon.

To make the menu re-appear, one must kill the application and relaunch it. ~The problem doesn't occur in Psifodoto's appmenu widget (as often).~ Edit: Nope, happens there too. However, if you were to swap between the default Breeze and this decoration, the menu button will sometimes re-appear there.

I think it is related to this: https://github.com/Zren/material-decoration/issues/43, specifically the problem the user encountered with Virt Manager.

What about the stuff above the app icon?

Sorry for the late response.
I must add that the bug doesn't occur in KTorrent at all.

Also, the bug affects KDE's default Global Menu as well. I assume the LIM decoration and Psifidoto's Appmenu are based on KDE's implementation. Should I close this bug and report it upstream?
This bug is inconsistent, it doesn't occur for all Qt or GTK apps with the tray feature. So the workaround is to disable Global Menu on the one-or-two misbehaving apps. For anyone with this problem, edit the desktop file of the application (right-click on the KDE kick-off, select 'Edit Applications' and search for the app) and prefix the Exec or Command line with:
KDE_NO_GLOBAL_MENU=1
For example:
KDE_NO_GLOBAL_MENU=1 strawberry %U
For anyone wanting to disable a GTK application's menu, using Valapanel's `appmenu-gtk-module' instead of Unity's will allow it.
For a specific GTK application.
1. Install and launch Dconf Editor (GUI)
2. Navigate to /org/appmenu/gtk-module/blacklist. The description should be 'Application Blacklist
3. Toggle 'Use Default Value' off.
4. Add the GTK application's executable name to list in the Custom Value box. E.g ['anjuta', 'freeciv', 'freeciv-gtk2', 'freeciv-gtk3', 'glade', 'gwyddion', 'app_name_here'].
5. After committing changes, re-launch the misbehaving application. The menu-bar should re-appear there. If it doesn't, manually enable the menu-bar with a keybind (usually Ctrl-M, Alt, Alt-M, or Ctrl-F12 (in Claws Mail's case...).
