[Bug 1245315] Re: alacarte fails to write a proper "Categories=<>; " line to .desktop files

 

This issue finds its roots in a problem with the creation and deletion
of Applications Menu (aka Main Menu) entries which is explained on:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alacarte/+bug/1245300

Comment #2 there explains the motivation for the present submission in
greater detail. It appears not related or limited just to Xfce.

Specifically, the key issue of the present submission centres on giving
the user GUI-based full control through alacarte to configure the
desired allocation of individual menu entries (launchers) to the
Application Menu categories. At present, this can only be fully achieved
by manually editing .desktop configuration files.

Note: Clearly, there is no intention (nor any need) to deviate from the
standard menu specifications. It is merely a matter of fully enabling
what goes where in the Applications Menu across (as opposed to within)
the various menu categories under GUI-based user control.
