Well, my first problem was all the parenthesis in the menu. they make it 
heavy (i think) . If they could make just like in Ubuntu, choose a set 
of software and not put the name of the software before its function.

Secondly, under each category, there are softwares that I can understand 
  are related to that category but still ... There shouldn't be 
configuration/Administration tools mixed with desktop software.

The system setting panel should be used to clean up the desktop menu 
from administrative tools.

LOL, I can swear I didn't make it on purpose :) .In fact I hate Mandriva 
(not the distribution itself but the spirit of the developers team) I 
won't explain why exactly :)
