Default Installing a start button in orobarus

I am using Debian (Lenny) and I have installed the oroborus window
manager. Currently I do not have a root menu or a start button. I installed a
free standing panel (fspanel). This gave me a taskbar and a clock, but I
still don't have a start button, so I can't lauch any applications.

How can I get a root menu and a start button? Is there a package that
provides these?

Also, besides fspanel are there any other packages that provide a stand
alone taskbar?

I have installed deskmenu, but I still have no root menu. This is Debian
Testing (Lenny).

Yeah. It does spawn an xterm session at startup, and I am using this to
spawn my applications. However I would like a taskbar and start button.
