Yes, but applications with X-Maemo-Prestarted=always in their .desktop files (such as Phone) cause weirdness if they don't have exactly one entry in the menu (and similar for the .desktop files). This is bug #8111 which I've made the hildon-desktop developers aware of.

Anyway, I tried again installing 0.7.3 (now from extras-testing) and the issue/bug I pointed out is easy to reproduce. However, after running /opt/catorise/catorise configure (which I had to do because several icons/apps seem not to be categorized as reported by qw3rty), the problem vanished. Given this, the root cause of this issue might be beyond the scope of Catorise.
Also, 0.7.4 now in extras-testing has refactored the optimisation such that it always indexes all package's .desktop files rather than trying to detect new packages. By doing a hack or two, I got that indexing down to ~1 second.

Can you, Jaffa, by the way explain why you made the set of specific /usr/share/applications/hildon/catorise-*.desktop files?
Bugs #8111 and #8328.
