Thanks for that comprehensive answer, Robert. Now I have four more
questions. :-)

1. We already show Category=Settings items *separately*, in the "Themes
& Tweaks" department. So anything we did to show all Settings items
*differently* probably would cause a lot of visual noise here. Now, some
of these "Settings" items have names that make sense in isolation (e.g.
"Art Manager", "Desktop Drapes", "Disk Utility"), while others
understandably don't (e.g. "Bluetooth", "Default Printer", "Password").
Does that latter group have something programmatically in common? Do
they share a dependency or reverse dependency on gnome-control-center,
or something like that? If so, then we could do something like
displaying an explanatory "(control panel)" after the titles of just
those ones.

2. About choosing the correct .desktop file to show in USC, what do you
think of this algorithm? "If a package contains more than one .desktop
file and all except one of them has NoDisplay=true, show only the one
that doesn't. Otherwise, show every .desktop file." Maybe that would
still show some .desktop files that we'd rather were hidden. But would
it hide any that we wanted shown?

3. Why do Orca's and onBoard's .desktop files have NoDisplay=true?

4. In my 10.04 installation, gnome-utils shows up in USC as "Get
Software" > "Accessories" > "GNOME Desktop Utilities", and gnome-
bluetooth shows up as "Get Software" > "Themes & Tweaks" > "Bluetooth".
Is this an aberration?
