Duplicate fbpanel systemmenu entries [SOLVED]

Question

Hi,
I recently decided to try out fbpanel with my openbox desktop. However, now I have duplicate menu entries in my menu (the 'star' icon in fbpanel), I believe in my 'systemmenu' part of the menu. How does fbpanel decide what to put in the systemmenu? I thought maybe /usr/share/applications, but there aren't duplicate entries there.
(its duplicated for all menus, not just system)
Thanks
Ben
EDIT:
Well, I restarted my system, and the duplicates went away.
The problem could have had to do with my running pypanel simultaneously.
I will leave this here for future searches.

Answer 1

FYI and for any one else who reads this thread;
Reboot is not needed,in a terminal;
$ killall fbpanel
and in a run dialogue (usually alt+F2);
$ fbpanel
That should update the fbpanel system menu.
If duplicate entries still exist it is as there is duplicate desktop files.These will usually be in /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications/.Check that out.Suggest rename duplicate .desktop files with additional .save extension and fbpanel will not find them.
Fbpanel searches /usr/share/applications/ and /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications/ for entries.
