fixing missing launch icons

Some ports fail to create the launch icon (menu item) in the desktop menu. To
correct this, one is to add in /usr/local/share/application a file by
<portname>.desktop like so:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=<portname>
GenericName=<Detailed Name>
Comment=<whatever>
TryExec=<portname>
Exec=<portname>
Icon=<picture>
Type=Application
Categories=<c1>;<c2>;<c3>;

My question is: The menu entries have categories - for example in gnome
there are Graphics, Office, Internet, etc. How can one specify the category
placement (under which category) this icon should go?

Thanks and Regards
