I have been spending some time trying to fix kdevelop3 bugs and building
it against KDE 3.4.2 libs, and I am running into a strange problem
concerning the .desktop files distributed with kdevelop3.

When I install kdevelop3, I end up with a submenu of K / Development
called "X-KDE-KDevelopIDE" containing the entries from the different
.desktop files. Probing around revealed that kdevelop3's .desktop files
all have a Categories line like this:

Categories=Qt;KDE;Development;IDE;X-KDE-KDevelopIDE;

I can get rid of the submenu by either removing the last component or
changing the line to:

Categories=Qt;KDE;Development;IDE;X-KDE-kDevelopIDE;

Any ideas of why the capital "K" results in having a submenu? I do not
recall seeing this strange submenu on KDE 3.3.x, and the .desktop files
have not been changed!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Jeremy
