I tried to install 'gnome-shell' through synaptic manager but I didn't like it so got it uninstalled...however even after running 'autoremove' & 'autoclean' commands a problem persists & that is related to the context menu of both nemo & nautilus file browsers (I got them installed instead of thunar). The problem is shown below enter image description here

However these weird lines don't occur in the context menu of builtin thunar file browser...but I never use it!

This problem also occurs in the context menu of synaptic packet manager enter image description here

Also in the context menu at xfce desktop these weird lines too are absent enter image description here

You have a mix of GTK+ 2 and 3 applications; these use different theme engines. Install ubuntu-tweak to reset the GTK3 theme to its GTK2 counterpart. (xfce4 is still GTK2 and hence agnostic of GTK3)

If ubuntu tweak is too heavy, you can also manually edit /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini Mine looks as follows:

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = elementary
gtk-icon-theme-name = elementary-xfce
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
gtk-sound-theme-name = ubuntu
gtk-icon-sizes = panel-menu-bar=24,24
gtk-font-name = Droid Sans 9

Also, if you don't want to change the default gtk3 theme for all users, edit:

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
