This isn't horrible, but I don't think it's a particularly great
solution. I think of System/Administration as tools that configure the
system or perform administrative actions, not utilities for the desktop.

I think there are a fair number. While a lot of them can find room
elsewhere (such as Games/Toys for things like xeyes), there are other
"pseudo-window-manager" utilities that have been around for a long time.
unclutter comes to mind. Or the millions of desktop clocks, for which I
also don't see a great category.
I wonder if Applications/Desktop would make sense, for desktop utilities,
which seems to be the term most used for this kind of thing.
