> Boinc registers itselfs in the menu under "Applications->Systemtools->Boinc Manager" (in german: "Anwendungen->Systemwerkzeuge->Boinc Manager") which seems to be quite inapropriate to me. 
>   Boinc has nothing to do with my system, it's just using its resources (like any other application does).

boinc-manager was changed from the section "Apps/Tools" to
"Applications/System/Monitoring" accordingly to the menu hierarchy in
boinc-manager 5.10.8-2.

boinc-manager is a "GUI to control and monitor the BOINC core client"
and the description of this section is: "System information and
monitoring tools, log viewers, etc.". That is why we believe should
belong to that section.

Thanks for your support.
