I have the same problem except for LibreOffice office which is ok, so I 
was hoping you would find a solution.  I have rebooted a number of times 
but still see the duplicate entries. The entries in the menu appear to 
be the same but at least in one case the programs they launch are different.

If I go Applications-->System Tools--> Disk Usage Analyzer.  The first 
one on the menu opens Baobab 1.2.0 and the second one opens Baobab 
3.4.1. I wonder if there is any guide that lets you determine which 
belong to Unity and which to Mate?  I would like to remove the Unity 
ones and keep the Mate ones.
