Multiple entries in menu for each application

Bug Description

I am running Kubuntu Intrepid, thought I installed a commandline install of Ubuntu hardy first, upgraded to intrepid, then installed kubuntu-desktop to minimize downloads. I have just logged in and in kmenueditor (rightclick kickoff --> Menu Editor) each application has two entries. However applications that are part of KDE4, and therefore in a subdirectory (/usr/share/applications/kde4) of /usr/share/applications and not in the main directory are not affected. Attached is :

output of ls -R /usr/share/applications
output of dpkg -l
screenshot of kemnueditor with Internet group expanded.

They are all in attaches445.tar

Is there someway to make this bug Release-Critical. I don't think
release Kubuntu 8.10 can be released in less than month unless this is
fixed.

affects: ubuntu → kde4libs (Ubuntu)
