This means that "Game" category is for games (doh!) > and thus will show in "Games" menu. Unless you think that dosemu is a > game this is completely incorrect. If you do, it's a completely > different issue. As I said in the BZ entry, both entry are correct following the desktop menu spec. I suggested to use the Game category (even for dosemu) because it is common practise to use this even for system (i.e. non console) emulators here and in RPM Fusion. Using the games-menus package, all entry under Game;Emulator will be placed in a nice submenu which is really useful to separate emulators from other stuff. It is here that the user will usually try to locate installed emulators. The system menu does not have such feature at present. Moreover, the prominent use of an emulator is to run "classic" games. I don't think that their main use is to run a DTP application under an Atari ST emulator or a word processor under dosemu. HTH.
