Off the top of my head, IIRC the only files involved in building the menus are 
those in:

/etc/xdg/menus/
~/.local/share/applications/
~/.local/share/desktop-directories/

So you might check the permissions in all of those.  The latter two directories 
will only exist if the user has made any local modifications to their menus-- 
so if they do exist, it might be worth moving them aside altogether, to rule 
them in or out of the problem.

Cheeri,
Calum.
