Yes you can add and remove from Mate menus but with all these duplicates 
I want to know which ones I should remove.  I assume that some of them 
are added by Mate and some must be picked up from Unity somehow. For 
example as I mentioned in my original post there are two entries for 
Baobab each pointing to a different version.

I was thinking about trying the Mate forum when I saw this topic pop up 
here.
