Description Rafaël Carré 2006-08-27 09:21:10 UTC 
There is no "generic" location for items without a "Categories=" section in the
Gnome Menu.

This type of .desktop entries is usually used to registrer a MimeType with an
application, without showing the app in the menu.

Instead, a Categories=Application; should be used in the .desktop files
