Since installing gnome-menus-2.10.1 I now have the following categories in the Application menu that were not there previously. These entries have a normal folder icon that would be visible if using Nautilus, unlike the other entries that have picture icons i.e. a typewriter for the Office category: Applications Multimedia Settings The following categories have been added to the Desktop menu: Applications Graphics Internet Multimedia Settings When selecting items in either of the Settings menus (they are identical) the old GNOME Control Center opens (1.4.0.5). This has been discussed in the following forum thread: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2507638.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -v =gnome-menus-2.10.1 Actual Results: New categories appear in the Applications and Desktop menus. Expected Results: Not added those extra categories.

Downgrading to gnome-menus-2.10.0 removes extra menu categories and the menus return to their state before 2.10.1 was installed.
i'm not quite clear on what entries you refer to are new or changed. Anyway, afaics the menus have been corrected to improve detection of older desktop entries. If you don't want those, you should consider removing those applications.
The problem in the 'Desktop' menu looks like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300499 Please try editing /etc/xdg/menus/settings.menu and removing the following lines: <KDELegacyDirs/> <LegacyDir>/etc/X11/applnk</LegacyDir> <LegacyDir>/usr/share/gnome/apps</LegacyDir> .. and let us know how it goes :). Regarding the entries in the 'Application' menu, those new entries with the folder icon simply show the default behaviour for legacy menus, not really a bug, unless your problem refers to something else, like duplicate entries (http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171366). These problems might be worth patching in our tree until a new stable version of gnome-menus is released, including a fix for an important memory leak (http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172472).
Created attachment 63176 [details] Menu with duplicate entries This is the menu with the problem of duplicate entries...the duplicate entries are not translated, the other entries are in italian.
Aldo, What version of gnome-menus do you have? If you're not using it yet, please upgrade to gnome-menus-2.10.2 and let us know if the problem persists. Thanks.
Hi, I've installed gnome-menus 2.10.2 (~x86) and the problem persist. Gnome-menus 2.10.0 haven't this problem. I'm no using an AMD64, if you think is necessary I can post my emerge info.
What items appear in those menus (Applications, Development and Settings)? What do you get if you run the following? find /usr/share/gnome/ -name '*.desktop' Also, just to be sure, did you restart your gnome session after upgrading gnome-menus? I'm just a little confused, this looks like the same issue from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300499 and it should be fixed in gnome-menus-2.10.2.
With gnome-menus-2.10.2 the problem is solved on my pc. When do you expect to release 2.10.2 (as stable)?
No reply from original reporter. Presumably fixed in gnome-menus-2.10.2.
