- When I edit gnome-terminal.desktop and define "Categories=System;",
it won't appear in "Outils systèmes" as expected but remains in "Utilitaires".
- I have a category "Divers" (something like "Misc") with a single
desktop entry for Printer Configuration. Now when I edit system-config-printer.desktop and define something like "Categories=System;", the "Divers" category remains there and the menu entry won't budge.
Most of the menu entries can be redefined OK, and they appear in the new category. Why a handful of desktop entries would not work remains a mystery. This looks damn well like a bug, although I wouldn't even know how to call it.
After some more experimenting, I found the culprit. It looks like the structure of the classic Applications menu is not only defined by the individual *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications, but also in a weird /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu file which contains a bunch of redundancies. Not exactly KISS principle.
So it looks like in order to customize my menus, I have to edit individual *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications as well as the XML-style entries in /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu.
I bluntly admit I don't get the logic behind this sort of thing.
