I don't think Paroli should have a launcher, but that's just me :) I'd rather
Paroli focused on becoming a good conectivity/telephony/pim application.

But the current launcher only shows .desktop files in /usr/share/applications/
and doesn't pay attention to the Category information.

That Category field is (I think) specified in 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html

So the desktop launcher should:
 1 create "tabs" (or something else) per category
   (because you just need it to separate and spare screen real estate)

 2 be able to show only selected categories from the list of defined categories
   (because the number can quickly grow too large for the screen)
