Hi

We have had this patch in opensuse since "forever", and I suspect other distros has something similar.

Is this something that you would consider implementing?

I see fedora does this:

desktop-file-install $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop \
   --vendor=fedora \
   --add-category=Application \
   --add-category=Network \
   --dir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications \
   --copy-name-to-generic-name \
   --delete-original
