I have nearly the same problem with 16 submenus in Apps.

But the bigger problem is, that some applications have "titles"
for applications which go over 1/3 of a 1024x768 screen mostly
Openoffice Apps like "Openoffice.org Printer Administration"
where the menu has a width of 372 pixels which is realy annoying.

I have never seen a redunant menu entry since I use "fvwm"
and have over 1400 entries in the Debian Menu System.
