Strange, if there is no /usr/share/applications/bittornado.desktop file than there shouldn't be a menu entry. Do you have a bittornado.desktop file anywhere in your filesystem?
If you have Gnome you can also check with System->Preferences->Main Menu to which icon file the menu entry is pointing. PS. I have installed and uninstalled bittornado without any hiccups. -- Bittornado not erasing shortcut on gnome menu on desinstalling https://launchpad.net/bugs/96408 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
