I'm sure it is correct, however please confirm if it is correct as this is my first time using the new desktop stuff.
You're missing the Encoding key, desktop-file-install will auto-add that for you. Not a high priority bug because both gnome and kde will try to autodetect encoding, but should fix sometime. If I install 1.8.9-8, I don't have a Categories line in the .desktop file, apparently?

I don't know .desktop files very well, nor know the official documentation URL that documents these details. I'm assuming this is all fixed for now, and trying to get confirmation from others.
