I have two related questions. 1. Application is shown under in multiple categories.

Application is shown under the wrong category.Should I simply edit the .desktop file to show the correct category eg. Categories=Audio; ? I think this is correct.
The .desktop files provide notice of the application. To fix any issues with whisker, edit the entry in whisper. You will see that the .desktop file is updated after any edits in whisper.
Details for how to edit the whisker menu are available from Xubuntu help at https://xubuntu.github.io/xubuntu-docs/user/C/settings-personalization.html#personalization-menu.
