Again, the Categories=<>; key is not what decides what apps go where,
according to the menu-spec.

Alacarte writes to ~/.config/menus/applications.menu or similar, which
should describe any user-configured overrides to the menus. If XFCE's
menu implementation does not support this format, then it is not a menu-
spec-compliant menu, and alacarte shouldn't be used to configure it.

You can see this file for yourself (it may also be ~/.config/menus/xfce-
applications.menu -- check $XDG_MENU_PREFIX), and look at the
customizations alacarte is writing to your applications.menu file.

I tested this with gnome-panel and gnome-shell, both of which use the
gnome-menus library, and Alacarte's customizations came through fine for
me.
