Gnome application menu seems not to be expected under Unity. Additionally, it works differently depending on the way LibreOffice 4.2 is launched. If you start LO from the dash it is identified as LibreOffice 4.2. If you open a file from its contextual menu in Nautilus, LO is identified as Unknown Application. Best regards. JBF
Added Caolan in CC because he is the author of Gnome Application menu. Best regards. JBF
Someone from the vast Ubuntu using community should really step up and make the necessary tweaks
Adding to MAB 4.2

I didn't think up anything better than to detect Unity by checking for environment variables.
