Dear Paul,

yes, when we use a Desktop menu file, I think that it should follow its
specification, as for any format.  In general, one can use the tool
desktop-file-validate from the desktop-file-utils package to check if the file
is correct.  In the case of categories, that tool specifies that ‘values
extending the format should start with "X-"’.

Have a nice day,
