Bug#329149: gnome-panel: should include more sound & video categories in menu

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.10.2-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if more registered[0] audio and video categories were
included in the GNOME Applications Menu in the "Sound & Video" section.
Specifically, it would be great if the Audio, AudioVideoEditing, Midi, 
Mixer, Music, Player, Recorder, Sequencer, TV, and Video categories 
(or any subset of the above that you feel would be appropriate) could be
included in the list of categories that would be shown in the "Sound &
Video" section, rather than simply the AudioVideo category.

Reasoning:
I think this would be a reasonable change for a couple reasons.  First,
if the author of an application assigns it to any of the above
categories, it is very likley that it could be appropriately classified
into the "Sound & Video" section.  Second, to require all audio/video
applicatoins to be in the AudioVideo category seems excessive (it feels
inappropriate for applications that are limited to either sound or
video - although this point is debatable).

Solution:
Simply changing the applications-all-users.vfolder-info file to include
the above mentioned categories in "Sound & Video" would do it.  
Unfortunately, I could not find the location where the file is generated 
(some Debian newbieness showing).  However, I have attached a patch to
make the changes clear (in the manner that I would suggest).  Of course,
feel free to change them as you see fit.
