Can you show me which .menu files you have in /etc/xdg/menus/ ? If you cannot find the directory in your file browser (thunar??) then open a console and do ls -alhF $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/

@Goran Zdjelar: do you use Gnome or xfce or something else? Please also look at my previous comment.

Hopefully (because no one provided the information I requested) fixed in revision 1411.
