This should not have changed. Those start menu links should have been created when the xinit package is installed, by the /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh script. You might want to take a look at /var/log/setup.log and see if that script ran successfully.

Heh. The postinstall/xinit.sh script has failed to run every time I've run setup.exe in the last 9 months.

I guess something different than usual went wrong? What's the best way to debug it?
