If I understand Sam correctly, his suggestion is about adding an additional category Utilities→Accessibility. (see https://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apas02.html )
First, Gnome and KDE are not xdg menu specification compliant. Second, these DEs have a settings menu. Window managers like FVWM do not have such. Thus, Gnome and KDE advocates should be aware that this is an issue that does affect only people that do _not_ use DEs. Thus imho it makes perfect sense and is actually overdue to add such a subcategory “Accessibility” to the xdg menu spec.
