+The fix is to run JMeter as Administrator, it will create the registry key for you, then you can restart JMeter as a normal user and you won't have the warning anymore.

 With Java 1.6 and Gnome 3 on Linux systems, the JMeter menu may not work correctly (shift between mouse's click and the menu). 
 This is a known Java bug (see  <bugzilla>54477 </bugzilla>). 
 A workaround is to use a Java 7 runtime (OpenJDK or Oracle JDK).
