Most of LibreCADâs commands are accessible through the menu bar. Drop-down menus provides access to file and print operations, application and drawing configurations, drawing and editing tools, and other functions.
The drop-down menus can be changed into a floating menu. Each drop-down menu has a dashed line at the top. Clicking and dragging the dashed line allows the menu to be âtorn offâ and moved to another location anywhere on-screen. Clicking the dot on the upper right corner of the floating menu closes it.

I checked the log file and the only thing that looks odd is a single line during FreeCAD startup,
Init: Initializing /home/tux/FreeCAD/Mod/Idf(InitGui.py not found)... ignore
Librecad Blocks Download
I don't know if that has anything do with the dxf import problems.I am using FreeCAD v0.12-5382 (64bit) compiled on Debian Squeeze
Attached are screenshots of the dxf in LibreCAD and when imported into FreeCAD
thanks,
