It probably looks strange that I reply to such an old posting, but I also stumbled across this one when I looked for a solution how to integrate emacs into the Unity appmenu (global and locally integrated into window bar). So I dare to reply. Here are my two cents:

emacs 24 potentially integrates well with Unity, but it seems it is blacklisted by in a hardcoded way. There is a very simply way around this: to simple include it into the whitelist:

• open dconf editor (search "dconf" in the Unity dash)
• go to "com | canonical | unity-gtk-module"
• add emacs24 to whitelist, e.g. ['emacs24']

This is it, at least for me it works perfectly (I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with the MacBuntu theme and locally integrated menus).

On Ubuntu 14.04, the following command does the job,

gsettings set com.canonical.unity-gtk-module whitelist "['emacs24']"
