Thanks a lot Fred, and don't worry about the timing, it's nothing critical !

Maybe this should be documented somewhere, I'll explain it here.

If you want your application's .desktop file to contain valid
FreeDesktop categories (which means that your application should appear
in the right menu automatically and that the packagers won't have to
ship their own .desktop), you can use the new FreeDesktopCategories
entry in your application .plist like this :

FreeDesktopCategories = (
        "Office",
        "Calendar"
);

You can find the official list of categories here :
