This seems strange. I can't tell about the menu-thing, as I don't have the 
time to build virtualbox on current at the moment, but you should be able to 
start virtualbox via command-line by typing "VirtualBox".
Things you can check:
-) Is there a /etc/vbox/vbox.conf.new? If yes, replace it with the old one.

-) Is there a /usr/bin/VirtualBox and/or /usr/bin/VBox?

Having the binaries in /usr/lib/virtualbox is indeed not perfect, but 
currently it is along the lines of other distributions. I will eventually try 
to move them directly into /usr/bin, but this will not be easy and I don't 
know if it is possible at all.
