Description Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-10-26 08:40:53 UTC 
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.

Added Caolan in CC because he is the author of Gnome Application menu.

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