if the .desktop file contains two Categories= lines, then it's invalid.
the menu avoids duplicates by comparing the full menu path of the
to-be-added item to previous items.  if there's a match, it discards it.
if the two .desktop files end up specifying the location differently,
there's nothing i can do.  you should bug the qalculate maintainer to
fix his .desktop files.
