Okay, 

what about the following. I have developed an application with a single
desktop file and a single entry:

Categories=GNOME;Application;Utility;

I install it in $(datadir)/applications (gnome) and
$(datadir)/applnk/Applications (kde). The xfce menu now also shows 2
entries. BTW this is for XFCE 4.2 RC1.
