The cause of this is Alacarte (menu editor) is showing a .desktop item which 
has NoDisplay=true.  This field specifically states this item should not have a 
menu:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html

However, so many Ubuntu packages have NoDisplay set (e.g. file-roller
which has a patch to add it) that I wonder if NoDisplay is being abused
for other purposes.  In any case remote desktop has set the .desktop
file correctly according to the freedesktop.org spec and alacarte should
be correctly ignoring it.

Reassigning to the alacarte package.

** Changed in: alacarte (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: vinagre => alacarte
   Importance: Low => Medium

- Duplicate Remote Desktop Viewer Menu Item entries
