Not all packages have .desktop files, and there are probably some that
have poor categorisation.  Either way, I've seen plenty of "I
installed $application, now where did it go?" in #ubuntu (so, classic
mode).  Not as many as "I installed Ubuntu, and I have no sound," but
still a high enough number to be a little concerning.

Also, OnBoard doesn't have a menu entry.  Yes, a bug is filed.
