Working on the module code, I was noticing that currently there are
five defined types for modules.  There might be some reasons to allow
for more freedom of choice in these types.  For instance, if one was
writing a specific set of modules that works with illume, it might be
nice to put them in an Illume category.  On the other hand, module
writers might get out of hand and invent too many categories, which
could get confusing.  But since we aim to give as much power of
configuration as possible, i think the former would be preferable, and
we could have a "suggested" set of categories to use for certain
things.  As it is, the current Module type system puts a large number
of modules in any given type, making the system less useful for
finding what module one might be looking for.

Also, the current default type is "shelf" which is a little silly.  I
suggest using "Miscellaneous" or something like that.

I will be able to work on the code to change over to the
module.desktop defining the type, if people think that is the way to
go.
