Great! Thanks for including the patches! But please leave in the "Chex Quest 3"
support. It will still help people who compile and install zdoom by themselves
(like I do at the moment).

Yes, that sounds better. But I do not see that category in my kde configuration (running
Kubuntu 13.10). Although some desktop files include Categories=Game;ActionGame; those
games (like Vavoom and wolf4sdl) still show up directly in 'Games'.

Games that use 'Categories=Game;ArcadeGame;' are being placed in the correct submenu.

ArcadeGame is included in  /etc/xdg/kde4-applications.menu and 'ActionGame' is not so I
guessed that 'ActionGame' is not one of the allowed names.
