openSUSE GNOME defaults script uses these Categories to define preferred
application for particular MIME type:

1.-3. Installed application mentioned in special lists.
4. Installed application with GNOME in Categories.
5. Installed application with GTK in Categories.
6. Installed application.

For example:
No application using keyword GNOME in Categories can open MIME type
application/vnd.palm.

What to prefer now? One would prefer application with GPE or XFCE in
Categories (and don't contain OnlyShowIn or NotShowIn=GNOME) over Qt or
KDE, as they look less "alien" in GNOME desktop.

I guess that other desktop environments may want similar preference
lists.
