Network|Office|Graphics|Games -> Desktop_Apps Accessories|Utilities -> Desktop_Tools Education would probably go in Desktop_Apps; I *think* Information is for documentation-related things. But I might be misunderstanding. I'm not sure where Development should go. > Would it be nice to expand this?

My goal is not to have a script out there but to provide a tool that will be included with CDE; there's a similar tool for migrating from VUE to CDE included in the tree. I get the impression that it would be possible to include applications in subdirectories, which *might* be a better approach. But I'm afraid I haven't looked at the documentation on how to add icons for new categories...what's a good place to find documentation on that?
