I forgot to mention that freedesktop.org is a project to develop
interoperability between the various X desktops: Gnome, KDE, Xfcs, and
others. While all of the major software packages adhere to their
interoperability standards/specifications, only a few ham radio packages
do so.
Appendix A of the Desktop Menu Specifications provides a list of
registered main categories and additional categories. I just checked the
latest revision, and HamRadio is now a registered sub-category. This
happened recently, as when I checked a few weeks ago, it still was not a
registered additional category. According to the Appendix, HamRadio can
appear as a category under either the Network or Audio main category. To
me, it is exciting that the software now has a home in the menu
structure. Now, we just need to get all of the packages to comply with
the specification.
