A "Misc" category would have the same problem as "Apps" - it is generic and 
doesn't tell the user anything. If the text of the toplevel categories are to 
help the user navigate and describe what the submenu contains, "misc" as well 
as "apps" is pretty hopeless, I think.
Anyway, if the categories are to be added it should be done on the xdg-list so 
fd.o don't loose its influence.

Hm.. What about Science or Geology?

KDE's application menu only got support Science, and it's under the 
"edutainment" menu, AFAICT. Perhaps "Science" should have its own top level 
menu? (I think science/research apps like gramps will be a great hit in open 
source..)
