Title:
  Needs to remove old menu caches

Status in “gnome-menus” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Earlier gnome-menus versions built a menu cache in
  /usr/share/applications/desktop.<locale>.cache. This patch got dropped
  in

  gnome-menus (3.1.5-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

    * New upstream release.
    * debian/watch: Watch for unstable versions, and switch to bz2.
    * Disable 22_desktop-cache.patch for now, needs to be rewritten, and not
      that important with Unity any more.
    [...]

  Unfortunately we forgot to remove the old cache files. libgmenu does
  not look at them any more, but they might be used by other software,
  and as they are out of date now these would work incorrectly.
