I believe it would be better if KDE implemented the ActionGame submenu instead. The main category "Game" must be supported by desktop environments but the additional category "ActionGame" _can_ be used. If I add an additional category to marsshooter I would simply workaround a current limitation in KDE which also might be intentional. > >> The Application category is deprecated and should not be used anymore. > > Aha.
