Anyway, once you allow users to move around applications, you need a place to store the current location of the app. The .desktop file is a good place for this... So why not write to the .desktop file in case it doesn't already include a category (or in case the category needs to be changed) and then always read from the .desktop file when you have to determine where to put an application?
That would be awesome!

Sorry manz -- I'm at work and I forgot my N900 at home this morning, probably not enough awake on this first day of the year :-)

I'll do it this evening if no one beats me to it...

You could use the sections which a user has found to get the app:

Code:
for i in *.desktop; do
  PKG=`dpkg -S "${i}"`
  SECTION=`apt-cache show "${PKG}" | grep ^Section: | cut -d' ' -f 2
}
This is useful for the user and also aligns with #3822.

So why not write to the .desktop file in case it doesn't already include a category (or in case the category needs to be changed) and then always read from the .desktop file when you have to determine where to put an application?
Changing a third party package's files to shuffle things around isn't very polite.

Wow, groovy! I guess the main menu is supposed to be the system of shortcuts you can put on the desktop, but this is very helpful.

@soleil - the update-menu is only for the apps not for a update function for the debian package - you musst download the newest version and install it per xterm with dpkg -i mymenu-0.4.1.20100104_armel.deb
