[Bug 47426] Re: desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus

[Phil Bull]

I think the requirement for the 'Applications' category may have been
fixed - packages such as kmplot seem to display in the menus without
having this category. There's still a problem with displaying science
packages, though - there isn't a science category!

Would it be possible to add such a category in the Applications menu?
Science apps currently get split between 'Education' and 'Other', which
makes finding science applications more frustrating for users.

I think all that's required is a small modification to applications.menu
and to add a new science.directory file in /usr/share/desktop-
directories/. This wouldn't add much to the delta for the gnome-menus
package, as similar patches have already been applied.
