Found solution here
After X failed load with an ABI error following a D-U today I added these three lines to my 20-nividia.conf
Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "IgnoreABI" "True"

Always (dist) upgrade aptosid after first logging out as user
http://manual.aptosid.com/en/sys-admin-apt-en.htm#apt-upgrade
At least once a month you should follow this procedure:
NEVER EVER do a dist-upgrade nor upgrade whilst in X
Always check Current Warnings on the aptosid main web site. The warnings are there for a reason due to the very nature of unstable (Debian sid), which also updates 4 times per day.
Log out of Openbox.
Go to Textmode by doing Ctrl+Alt+F1
logon as root,
and then type:
init 3
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get clean
init 5 && exit
Or first download the necessary files logged in and then upgrade:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade -d # download but don't install yet
then
init 3 (terminal mode)
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get clean
NEVER DIST-UPGRADE [or UPGRADE] with adept, synaptic or aptitude

Integrate adesk-menu in tint2
Source: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/14259/my-little-adeskmenu-project/
All you need is the single page menu script and a .desktop pointing to it.
Here is the code for the menu script:
http://pastebin.com/bG4ugasC
and here is the .desktop file.
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=menu
Exec=/usr/bin/adesk-menu2
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png
Make the menu script executable and move it to /usr/bin "sudo chmod +x adesk-menu2 && sudo mv adesk-menu2 /usr/bin/"
After that put the .desktop file somewhere like ~/.scripts and point tint2 to it. After that you should be good to go. By default the menu opens in the top left corner of the screen. If you need to adjust where
the menu opens edit line 369 in the script.
