I can confirm that gufw doesn't show in the menu on Xfce, also. So at 
least one other desktop environment is affected.

I hadn't noticed. Installed it on a friend's system so she'd have a 
reasonably easy-to-use control for ufw. I only ever start gui apps with 
a launcher, so I didn't notice gufw's absence from the menu until I read 
your message and checked it out on her system. This is on a testing 
system, so problem hasn't been fixed yet.

What happens if you just use a launcher to launch gufw and then click on 
the Unlock button on the application -- assuming that it comes up?
