Hi, I finally find a little time to continue exploring e! ;)

I found the files you mention in /usr/share/desktop-directories/, but there are 
only files for KDE and Xfce, nothing generic (in the sens of "desktop 
neutral"). Examples:

kde-office.directory 
[...]
kde-utilities-xutils.directory
kde-utilities.directory
xfce-accessories.directory
xfce-development.directory
[...]
xfce-office.directory

These files contain translations used in KDE and Xfce.
With German language settings, for the category "Office" I see
- "Büroprogramme" in KDE
- "Büro" in Xfce
- "Office" in e.

So e doesn't pick up any of these translations, whereas it uses correct 
translations for application names. It's only the category, that remains 
English.

Question is now: Where does e look for application categories?

BTW, I am on Slackware64-13.37, e build is 64019.

Thanks,

 Alex
