Try logging in with a new user, it should get the whiskermenu as "start menu button".
If you just updated always, your old settings won't be changed.
Of course the old "start menu" button is still available and can be configured (as replacement or in addition to whiskermenu), but the default for a new user profile has been changed for 42.3 or 150 IIRC.
Fair enough. Thanks for the info. Although it requires more manual configuration than Unity did, I am happy with Xfce and now recommend it whenever people ask what desktop to use. The only feature I wish for is that I would like to be able to just pin apps to the panel -- then I could get rid of all my launchers. At this moment, for instance, I have _both_ launcher icons _and_ app window buttons for: * Thunderbird * Pidgin * Franz * Waterfox * Chrome * Oxygen * Parole It is how I liked things back in the WinXP era, but after some years as a Mac user, then more as a Unity user, it now seems like unnecessary duplication. When I click on a launcher icon, it would make more sense to me for it to /become/ the app window's button -- then revert to a launcher when I quit the app. I don't use Windows much, but there have been 2 features I actually like introduced since Win 8.0: pinning apps to the taskbar, and virtual desktops (in Win10). Combined with the ability to recursively search a directory tree for drivers, which appeared in Vista, those are the sum total of technical improvements in Windows for me in the last decade and a half. :-) One of them is irrelevant to Linux, the other it's had forever, but it makes me sad that the third is something I can't do with Xfce. (AFAICT, I can't with Cinnamon or Maté either, but since they can't do vertical taskbars properly, I don't use them so it doesn't worry me. KDE *can* do it, but it too can't do vertical taskbars well.) -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
