[Bug 689633] Re: grace.menu file should be improved

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: grace
  
- The grace.menu file currently sets the menu option for Xmgrace to appear
- in the Science/Mathematics section.  I think the Data Analysis section
- would be more appropriate because Grace is a data analysis and plotting
- application, not a mathematics application.  Please consider updating
- the package.
+ The grace.menu file could be improved in a couple of ways:
+ 
+ 1) I think section="Applications/Science/Data Analysis" would be more
+ appropriate because Grace is a data analysis and plotting application,
+ not a mathematics application.
+ 
+ 2) The "hints" field is used incorrectly to provide a description of
+ xmgrace.  The "hints" field is really an optional list of keywords for
+ the menu system to use when grouping icons.  The field should either be
+ used correctly or removed.
