Dear xdg members,

a Debian (stretch) user reported an issue where an application (freeplane) is not
shown in the office section. So far I cannot reproduce this (GNOME3),
but the user reported [1] that it is "fixed" by this change:

--- /usr/share/applications/freeplane.desktop	2016-12-10 12:08:55.000000000 -0500
+++ freeplane.desktop	2018-03-20 14:16:27.182938569 -0400

Here is the complete /usr/share/applications/freeplane.desktop:

Do you have any idea what might cause this?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
