Fixed since last update. Seems it was related to some dependency.

Was too fast --- sometimes the menu is shown and populated, sometimes it is shown, but empty.

I've seen this a couple of times in Lucid Lynx 10.04 alpha 2, running from the live CD. In fact it's occurring right now as I type this. The user status icon next to the power-switch icon also has an empty drop down menu when clicked. Most of the time (most boots) the menus are populated as expected, but occasionally they are not.
