[unsolved] Duplicated entries within nautilus' right click menue

Since some days, I notice duplicated entries withing nautilus' right click menue. It concerns only additional entries, like F-Spot, Open with ..., or, f.e. if I open a media disk with double click I see duplicated  notes like "This device contains digital fotos. [Open F-Spot Foto Management].

Please consider my gnome is in german, I have to guess how they read in english, but hopefully you'll get it.

My questions are:
- How come?
- How to solve?

I examined gconf, but could not regard some key or value as cause of trouble.

Re: [unsolved] Duplicated entries within nautilus' right click menue

Look for duplicate .desktop files in this directory:

~/.local/share/applications

If so, you could try deleting them (or moving files out, to be safe), and then either restart X or try this command:

sudo update-desktop-database
