| You are probably right.  We have now in octave3.0.desktop:
| 
|     Categories=Development;Math;Science;
|     
| Actually, Octave belongs to the three categories, but my Gnome desktop picks
| the first one and puts Octave under "Applications -> Programming".  I agree
| it is somehow misleading for new users.

| At any rate, this is an upstream issue.  I am Cc:ing this message to the
| Octave bug mailing list.

I don't object to changing the octave3.0.desktop.in file, but I have
no idea what should go in the Categories list.
