Comment 5 for bug 1310261

I've been following this issue for the past year and struggling with the hidden/revealed menu items just as Pasi Lallinaho mentioned above. I also have duplicates, triplicates, and even quadruplicates of the same menu item within the same groups and this compounds the problem. Deleting .config/menus/*.* + .local/share/desktop-directories/*.* + .local/share/applications/*.* in the Home folder to rebuild the menu, doesn't help, so now just sit back and wait for any new developments.

Perhaps it would be possible for the developers to consider a single master list from which the users can pick and choose their own menu structure?
