Bug Description

To reproduce in terminal run man simple-scan. Then read the man pages and notice it says Simple Scan has been written with GTK+ libraries, and after installing
       the application you can run it from the Applications menu.

But lubuntu and now ubuntu with unity don't really have an applications menu to run it from but ubuntu-mate does. simple-scan:

Description: Ubuntu 15.04

I expected the man page for simple scan to be applicable to all desktop environments not just like how it was in gnome 2 days years ago.
