On 13-Aug, dist-upgrade messed up LXDE on my Siduction system. I originally thought the problem was that d-u mistakenly removed packages lxpolkit and lxsession-edit, but the Siduction dev tells me that this was done purposely, upstream. However, I cannot find anything describing this being done.
On 15-Aug, dist-upgrade again upgraded some LXDE packages. I hoped this would fix the problem, but it didn't. On the UNIX & Linux Stack Exchange, it was suggested that I reinstall lxpanel. That did not help, either.
Anyway, my problem is that lxpanel is not displayed. No panel, no menus. If I right-click on the desktop, I get a very short menu that allows me to open a terminal or a web browser. So, I am starting most things from the command line. I can manually start lxpanel and it starts with no errors, but the panel displayed is completely blank.
As I poke around my system, it seems that nothing is where it is documented to be. For example, there is no ~/.xinitrc, even though that is where the Debian wiki specifies that the command to start LXDE should reside. So, it is next to impossible for me to try to fix things when they are not laid out as documented.
