After upgrading dmenu from version 3.4 to 3.5, wmii no longer launches it when you press control-P. This is because wmii's config files in /etc/wmii-3.5/{rc.wmii,wmiirc} call dmenu with a "-b" option that no longer exists. Removing the -b option from the lines that reference dmenu solves the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start wmii as your window manager. 2. Install dmenu. 3. Press control-P to start a program. 4. Notice how no menu appears at the top of the screen. Actual Results: Nothing. Expected Results: A program selection menu should have appeared at the top of the screen.

I can confirm this, and this also affects dmenu 3.6. Removing the -b option and replacing it with -y '-0' in wmiirc will establish the old behavior from 3.4.
I added a quick sed operation which should fix this; I went ahead and bumped the revision to -r2. Thanks and sorry for the delay.
