That should be easy enough; if $APPMGR is the directory where dtappmanager looks, it's something like: for i in `sed -ne 's/^Categories=//' -e 's/;/ /p'` $1 do mkdir "$APPMGR/$i" touch "$APPMGR/$i/`basename $1 .desktop`" chmod +x "$APPMGR/$i/`basename $1 .desktop`" done Or perhaps that should be for i in "`sed -n -e 's/X-[^;]*;//g' -e 's/GTK;//' -e 's/Motif;//' \ -e 's/Qt;//' -e 's_;_/_g' -e 's/^Categories=//p' $1`" do mkdir "$APPMGR/$i" touch "$APPMGR/$i/`basename $1 .desktop`" chmod +x "$APPMGR/$i/`basename $1 .desktop`" done I'm not sure which is the proper approach. Either way, it should go after the line that creates the *.dt files. The main downside is the number of BS categories that some developers and packagers have come up with. For instance: qtpfsgui.desktop:Categories=Graphics;RasterGraphics;Photography;Viewer;Qt; reportbug.desktop:Categories=Application;System; sqlitebrowser.desktop:Categories=Development;Database;Qt; sylpheed.desktop:Categories=GTK;Network;Email;News; ted.desktop:Categories=Office;TextEditor; uninstaller.desktop:Categories=Application;System; v4l2ucp.desktop:Categories=Settings;HardwareSettings; wine.desktop:Categories=Emulator; winecfg.desktop:Categories=Application;System; wpa_gui.desktop:Categories=Qt;Network; xephem.desktop:Categories=Application;Education;Science;Astronomy; xiphos.desktop:Categories=Education xpaint.desktop:Categories=Graphics;2DGraphics; xpdf.desktop:Categories=Viewer;Graphics; xplore.desktop:Categories=Utility;FileTools;FileManager; gnumeric.desktop:Categories=Office;Spreadsheet;Science;Math;GNOME;GTK; googleearth.desktop:Categories=Network; gvim.desktop:Categories=Utility;TextEditor; iceweasel.desktop:Categories=Network;WebBrowser; ida.desktop:Categories=Motif;Graphics;Viewer libreoffice-draw.desktop:Categories=Office;Graphics; libreoffice-impress.desktop:Categories=Office; libreoffice-startcenter.desktop:Categories=Office;X-Red-Hat-Base;X-SuSE-Core-Office;X-MandrivaLinux-Office-Other; Some have useable information, but many serve only to render navigation difficult and obscure function.

Ah, thanks. The downside is that installing in $PREFIX/dt/ may be a worse idea when $PREFIX is /usr.
