I am having the same problem.
It appeared on Edgy and still persists on Feisty.
Thought it had worked for a while, I don't know why it suddenly stopped.
I have tried purging the packet, removing manually files and gconf schemas (on that point not sure that it was done correctly).
I encountered the same problem with the various versions that I downloaded and compiled.
When I add the applet on the panel, just a very thin line appear. It freezes the panel until I killall main-menu.
A few times, after several minutes, I got a correct display but also frozen.

I like this menu and wonder what is going on...
