It does not make any sense for Supertuxkart to be in the same category
as Blender, Cubeview, and MeshLab. That is a valid bug, even if we
disagree on how it should be fixed. If you have an alternative
suggestion on how it should be fixed, then I'd be happy to read it.
But consider for a moment what it would mean if the authors of the menu
spec really had used "graphical" to refer to any application that uses
graphics. It would mean that AbiWord, Gnumeric, PCB Designer, Rhythmbox,
KAddressBook, VLC, Kalzium, Celestia, and SQLite Database Browser -- to
name just a few -- would all belong in the "Graphics" category. Would
that be useful to anyone? Not even slightly. So that can't be what they
meant. The same applies to 3-D graphics: the proportion of software that
uses 3-D graphics is steadily increasing over time, but in most cases
that's irrelevant to what the software is for.
Towards the end of the menu spec, there are a few categories that relate
to how a program is implemented, rather than what it's used for: "KDE",
"GTK", "Java", "TrayIcon", and so on. But "3DGraphics" is not one of
those categories. "3DGraphics" is alongside "VectorGraphics" and
"RasterGraphics", which are similarly used for applications that edit,
process, or display those particular kinds of graphics. Supertuxkart is
not one of those applications.
