The same, or at least very similar bug (perhaps a regression?) happening
on Xenial 16.04 64 bit.

ii  zenmap         7.01-2ubuntu all          The Network Mapper Front End

dpkg -L zenmap|grep desktop
/usr/share/applications/zenmap-root.desktop
/usr/share/applications/zenmap.desktop

Seems the package puts both root and non-root .desktop files in
/usr/share/applications and this is not shown in the menus! Oddly,
something, most likely a prior version of the package, also from Ubuntu
repositories (since I've never installed it from other repos or source),
has left a non-root .desktop in /usr/share/app-
install/desktop/zenmap:zenmap.desktop as shown below:

ls -la $(locate *zenmap*.desktop)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 398 сеп 10  2015 
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/zenmap:zenmap.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 277 мар 31  2016 /usr/share/applications/zenmap.desktop
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 308 мар 31  2016 
/usr/share/applications/zenmap-root.desktop

That top .desktop file seems to be the only one working, as shown in the
attached screenshot. And yes, this is Lubuntu, though the bug appears to
affect multiple Ubuntu variants, and is not Lubuntu specific, the
original poster was on Ubuntu himself, since his screenshot shows Unity!
