EVALUATION Since 2.10, the menu item is categorized to different types,such as Office,Development,Games and etc.There are many default catelogies(http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html) and it also support customized catelogy, and the menu shortcut must belong to one catelogy. Javaws don't support the catelogy now, so we need make changed to support it. Perhaps we could add an property in <menu> item, such as <menu catelogy="Application;Office">
