[xdg-list: Lost & Found is where we collect <OnlyUnallocated> entries]

See http://pdx.freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec/menu-spec-0.8.html for the 
spec and the defined categories.

glines: Specifies undefined category "PuzzleGame", fixed KDE menu so that it 
at least gets added to the Games menu based on the "Game" category.

gnome-search-tool.desktop: Uses "Core", I guess it uses that for root level 
entries, KDE uses X-KDE-MenuRoot. I think the gnome-entries should add 
"OnlyShowIn=GNOME".

gnome-stones.desktop: Uses undefined category "Games", they probably mean 
"Game".

network-scheme.desktop: Uses "Core", same as gnome-search-tool.desktop

I guess KDE can use ("Core" and "KDE") instead of ("X-KDE-MenuRoot") and we 
could silently drop ("Core" and not "KDE") to get rid of the gnome root 
entries.

Can someone comment on this from the GNOME side of things?

Cheers,
Waldo
