Bug Description

The "Lubuntu Netbook" session in Lubuntu allows selecting programs from menu of icons on desktop with lxlauncher.
Desktop area is divided in 5 tabs: Internet, Work, Learn, Play and Preferences. Each of those tabs contains autogenerated
icons to launch programs and folders; it is equivalent of start menu with entries and submenus.

Unfortunately "Work" tab doesn't get populated correctly, and currently is cluttered so much (2 pages of launchers)
as to almost useless. As seen on attached screenshot there are duplicated apps (like dvdisaster, gkrellm or gv), command
line apps that shouldn't appear in launcher (like bash, bc, gdb) and tools that are already present usually with better
icon in other tabs or subtabs (like catfish, i.e. Catfish File Search).

Note that I never got such situation when I was using Lubuntu 12.04. This bug happened only after upgrade (reinstall).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

I attempted to verify this on versions of currently supported Lubuntu: trusty, utopic, and vivid, and I could not find these extra items in the work area.

If you are still encountering this behavior on a currently supported release, it would help us a lot if you could kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect 1078505 and any other information that might be relevant for this particular issue.
