This doesn't look normal. It is possible you have more than one start menu running at the same time. When Classic Shell is correctly installed, pressing the first icon should open the start menu (either in Windows 7 or Classic style, depending on your settings).

"Start Apps" doesn't sound like a Windows feature or a Classic Shell feature. Maybe it was something implemented by the previous software you used, which you uninstalled?

Yes, version 4.0.6 fixes the crash in Explorer. This is the only difference from 4.0.5.

The problem occurs under specific circumstances - you must have Classic Explorer installed, you must not have customized the Explorer toolbar buttons, and the setting to run Explorer windows in a separate process must be off.
