[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 709987] [NEW] Menu entry shows up in multiple locations

[jhansonxi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: supertuxkart

Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) i386
Supertuxkart 0.6.2+dfsg1-1ubuntu1

Related to bug #532065.

When enough games are installed to cause the submenus to appear
(inline_limit=6 in /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu) this game shows up
in multiple locations because more than one Additional category is
specified in the desktop file
(/usr/share/applications/supertuxkart.desktop):

Categories=Game;ActionGame;Simulation;SportsGame;3DGraphics;

Multiple Additional categories is not necessarily against the fdo spec but if it is to be the basis of menu organization then they need to be avoided:
