"Application" is not included as well, which leaves out tangogps.

As for matchbox-keyboard - does it work under e17/illume at all?
It does not for me (process starts, but nothing is shown). But it is not a 
big problem, since illume's own keyboard now works :)
I even suggest to add Category: MB to Exclude, to avoid polluting illume 
launcher with icons for non-working-under-illume things.

Also <Filename>openmoko-panel-plugin.desktop may be excluded - although it 
may be better to fix openmoko-panel-plugin itself to move it out of 
Office: category.
