Description of problem: Kate appears in the main desktop Applications menu under Other applications. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdesdk-4.0.1-1.fc9 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install kdesdk Actual results: 1. appears at Applications -> Other -> Kate kate.desktop has "Categories=Qt;KDE;TextEditor;" Expected results: 2. Kate should appear under Programming or Accessories
According to http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html , the TextEditor category should always used in conjunction with the Utility category. We need to test if adding the Utility category doesn't break the KDE menu though. (Currently Kate is listed under "Utilities/Editors" where it belongs, we don't want it duped under the top-level "Utilities" menu.)
Hmm, so is this a GNOME bug then?
The spec says kate.desktop should define a primary category (such as Utility) in addition to TextEditor (which is an additional category), but of course it would also be possible to change redhat-menus to do something useful with the TextEditor category.
