There's a couple threads on this already. I haven't come across it, probably because I don't have the window manager in question installed, but several report it's an unparsable menu file. As root, from a console or console window, run update-menus -v (for verbose) to see where it chokes, and manually edit the file (as outlined in the menu docs) to correct the issue. As mentioned, it was reported to be related to one of the window managers, but IDR which one (not gnome/kde/icewm or I would have remembered and probably run into the problem myself). -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
