[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#927695: network-manager-applet: "Advanced Network Configuration" appears under the category "X-GNOME...", please carry upstream patch to put under "Utilities"

[Andrew Hayzen]

package: network-manager-applet
version: 1.8.20-1

"Advanced Network Configuration" appears under "X-GNOME..." with a
default install. This appears to be out of place and looks strange to
the user.

In the recent new upstream release [0] "NotShowIn=KDE;GNOME;" has been
removed from the desktop file, which has resulted in the issue.

Upstream there was an issue describing the problem [1], which has since
been fixed by declaring the category of the desktop file to be
utilities.  Can Debian carry the patch [2] which declares the category
as this would improve the out of the box UX.

Reading the issue upstream, it appears that two further changes would
also need to be carried for gnome-menus [3] and gnome-software [4] for
a complete fix.  It looks like the gnome-menus fix is stuck in unstable
and gnome-software would also need a patch.
