It was recently changed from "Science;Engineering" or "Science;Electronics" as stated by http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html Additional Category - Description - Related Categories Electronics - Electronics software, e.g. a circuit designer - [ ] Engineering - Engineering software, e.g. CAD programs - [ ] [Desktop Entry] Categories=Science;Electronics; or Categories=Science;Engineering; Since those packages are not meant for "Education" (but instead Engineering), the category "Education" is inappropriate. However, on : * KDE : the applications are properly displayed on a menu "Science & Math", (octave uses it as well) * gnome : the applications are displayed on a menu "Other". gnome puts categories for which it does not have an appropriate menu to other and since there isn't one for science or electronics. I've discussed this issue with the freedesktop, some fedora guys and gnome guys on their respective channels, and they are OK with having those tools on the "Other" menu of gnome. There will be a better solution with the upcoming version of gnome and freedesktop policies. Thus I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX
