I had the same problem as described in this bug and was able to fix it. The problem was caused by corrupt *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications/... which contained binary data or other invalid content. You can use 'sudo update-desktop-database -v' which files were processed correctly and which caused warnings. I corrected the problematic *.desktop files using 'sudo aptitude reinstall <package>' and the problem was gone.
