I had this problem after doing an apt-get dist-upgrade
on Friday. I do use startx rather than gdm, xdm, wdm,
etc. I saw an error stating that /usr/bin/cpp couldn't
be found on the terminal I had started X from in X 's
output. I went and looked and sure enough, no cpp, but
cpp-2.95 and cpp-3.0. I created a symlink to cpp-2.95,
restarted Windowmaker, and got my application menu back.
