lxde menu disappeared!

[Da Rock]

I have an odd problem which eluding my ability to resolve. The menu on 
the lxde panel has gone and I cannot find any way to restore it.

I have had to do some updates to resolve some other application issues, 
and had an issue with the fs and SU+J with system panics. That is 
resolved now (touch wood) and while there are some updates still to be 
completed, things should be right as lxde updates are completed.

A search reveals there should be an update-menus command, but is non 
existent in the freebsd system. I tried update-desktop-databases but 
that did nothing. I have rebooted several times in resolving the issue, 
to no avail as well.

Anyone know a fix for this?

TIA
