I was having a similar problem. I had seen the menu's disappear before but Menudrake always fixed it. I installed fluxbox and the menu disappeared/emptied and menudrake wouldn't fix it. I ran the "update-menus -v" as root and it gave the following error. In file "/etc/menu/menudrakeentry", at (or in the definition that ends at) line 7: [...] package="menu" section="Fluxbox/Styles/" title="" [...] ^ Missing (or empty) tag: title This tag needs to defined for the menuentry to make sense. Note, BTW, that update-menus re-arranges the order of the tags found in the menu entry files, so that the part above isn't literal /etc/menu-methods//gnome-mime-data-applications: Aborting I went in and edited the menudrakeentry file and put flux into the title field and everything is back to normal now after updating the menu again.

I just got it up. I had problems starting it from kdm. I followed the instructions on http://clevername.homeip.net/xfce4/ , but when I choose xfce4 it loaded icewm. I don't have a solution to kdm so i killed it and started from the command line. I just started using linux a month ago and don't have too much experience w/ all of the wm and desktops, but xfce4 does seem a lot more responsive than kde or gnome.
