Package: viking
Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Using XFCE Viking is put in the "misc" category in the application menu, not in
"science" or "education" like e. g. Octave.
Don't know the correct names, using the german locale it's in "Sonstige"
instead of "Bildung".
Regards,
Tim

is still an issue.
