| 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.
