Is not efreet responsible to parse .desktop file as well?  I am talking
about the software responsible for the three icons on the Illume
"desktop" at

  http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/bugs/e17-fonts_GTA01/e17_default_285-dpi.png

AFAIK, there is no menu involved there.

The Illume "desktop" does not show the following .desktop file, which is
perfectly valid according to

  http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.0.html

=====
debian-gta01:~# cat /usr/share/applications/category-utility.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=UTILITY
Comment=Category Utility
Exec=/dev/null
Type=Application
Icon=debian
Categories=Utility;
debian-gta01:~#
=====

However, if you change "Categories=Utility;" with "Categories=System;",
the .desktop file is now shown.  Both categories are part of the specs,
that why I stated that efreet is not compliant to the specs.  The same
happens with the Audio, Video, Education and Settings categories.

Please feel free to ask for more examples, it seems I am not able to
pass the message, sorry.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
