            Bug ID: 15469
           Summary: Application .desktop file with
                    Categories=Settings;Utility; does not show in Utility
                    menu
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfce4-appfinder
           Version: 4.13.3
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: scootergrisen at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14

This is properly not about appfinder but it affects appfinder, application menu
and whisker menu plugin.


If i edit a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and have
"Settings;Utility;" like so:

Categories=Settings;Utility;

Then for some reason the application does not show up in the Utility menu.
Remove "Settings;" and the application will show up in Utility menu.

Consistently appfinder, application menu and whisker menu plugin does this.
Like on purpose.



The Utility category seem to have special placement of these items in
application menu and whisker menu plugin, but not addfinder:
Run Program...
Application Finder

Dont know if that might mean something.
