Hi,

thank you very much for forwarding your patch.

I wonder if a Desktop entry shouldn't contain at least one ‘main’ category
from the FreeDesktop menu entry specification:

http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html

In Debian Med, we use a lot “Biology;Science;Education;”. On my system,
programs with such an entry find their way automagically in the Science
menu.

Would you agree with this change instead of your patch?

Have a nice day,

PS: I am amazed that your emails survive spam filters ;)
