The main way of editing Catorise's menu is to edit /opt/catorise/menu, a simple file with the format:

Code:
desktop-file-name: section

Thanks. However, the battery drain isn't Catorise specific. It'll affect ApMeFo too. It's a bug in hildon-desktop introduced in PR1.2: #10412.

Well, mine too. I've not seen the bug either. Perhaps it's a specific .desktop file which causes it?

Maybe it's because Catorise is using the system wide hildon.menu while ApMeFo only writes to the .local one?
According to a comment on #10412, it's reproducible by updating the local one.
