It's probably a cache "problem" in Ubuntu. Read this: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-menus/+bug/581838

The cache isn't updated if you use a custom installer like the *.sh.

On the same page there is a workaround:

"... after installing an application which doesn't use dpkg, execute:
sudo sh -c "/usr/share/gnome-menus/update-gnome-menus-cache
/usr/share/applications/ > /usr/share/applications/desktop.${LANG}.cache"

This does the trick. ..."

Worked for me to on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit.

Sometimes the cache is updated by the system - that's why the problem can
resolve by it self. But after a long time.


- Pointing out, the following has to be in one line without modifications: 

sudo sh -c "/usr/share/gnome-menus/update-gnome-menus-cache
/usr/share/applications/ > /usr/share/applications/desktop.${LANG}.cache"
