I chatted with Guido Berhoerster today. Apparently, what you describe
here (filtering apps that will appear in xfce4-settings-manager, while
still allowing those apps to appear in the applications menu in other
desktops) is the main use case for XFCE.

I think it's a valid use case (even though I'm not sure I like this
approach, but that doesn't matter).

So unless someone raises a valid objection within a week, I'll add the
XFCE category to the spec.

Cheers,

Vincent
