The categories listed seem to be quite complete. I would like to propose the
following aditional catgories:
Education - Educational software
and
KDE - KDE based application
QT - Qt (but not KDE) based application
GNOME - GNOME based application
GTK - GTK (but not GNOME) based application
X - Graphical application not based on GTK or QT.
Text - Text/console based application.
Should anything be said about the orthogonality of categories? E.g. the six
categories mentioned above are pretty much mutually exclusive.

I don't like the approach that every shared standard that we come up with
defines its own locations. In KDE we define eveything relative to $KDEDIR(S),
if we can create something like $FREEDESKTOP_DIR(S) then we can spec
everything relative to that and we don't need a set of env.vars for every
spec that we are going to come up with.
Cheers,
Waldo
