yes, this makes perfect sense to me. Also the categorie's submenue
should not be called "geoservers" as this may be confused with the
application GeoServer.
(see install_desktop.sh, line 144: Categories=Geospatial;Geoservers;)

And while I am at it: deegree should be in this category as well.
I am just reporting this as deegree already is in the SERVER_APPS list
but it doesn't seem to work out in 3.0-rc3a.iso. It does not show up in
the respective folder. Instead, deegree icons are still crowding the
desktop.

Has the change in install_desktop.sh been made after this rc3a-build?
that would figure.

Greetings,
 Judit
