Tried that already, didn't help.

Ok so it looks like the double entries and the Internet category in the
Desktop menu could be caused by this:

> pkg_info -L pl-kadu\* | grep .desktop
/usr/local/share/applnk/Internet/kadu.desktop
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/apps/Internet/kadu.desktop

and also the lack of Categories in the desktop file itself (adding it
makes the Internet category disappear from the Desktop menu - thanks for
the tip; however, menu-editor still doesn't show kadu). The only thing I
don't get is why it broke after upgrading gnome-menus from 2.10.0 to
2.10.1.

The .hidden categories, on the other hand, appear probably because of those
two files:

> pkg_info -L k3b\* | grep desk
/usr/local/share/applnk/.hidden/k3b-cue.desktop
/usr/local/share/applnk/.hidden/k3b-iso.desktop
[..]

Now to figure out why some stuff disappeared from the menu..
