They've added LXQt (and XFCE and GNOME) to their categories. That isn't something LXQt can change or control.

[stefonarch]

Sure, but we can make an rule for it.

When I didn't know what LXQt was, an LXQt user asked me to put Kvantum Manager in the LXQt section of its config center, and he told me how. I agreed. Later, when I started to use LXQt, I had more reason for it.

I mean that (1) the rule has existed since the early versions of LXQt, and (2) developers are free to use it. Why should we take it away from them? Yes, some people may abuse it, but, IMHO, it's not our responsibility to prevent that.

[stefonarch]

It's not abuse here, but I don't see any relation of those settings to LXQt Desktop, arguing like that also printer or firewall or anything else can go under LXQt.

[tsujan]

I agree.

I found this: https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher/pull/329#issuecomment-626368375. Apparently, it was just copied from the desktop file of Kvantum Manager!

Kvantum is tuned toward LXQt — it has codes related to pcmanfm-qt and LXQt main menu — and Kvantum Manager is a versatile tool for customizing LXQt's look. IMO, that copy-pasting was a mistake.

EDIT: Again, this isn't an LXQt problem, IMO.

I see. WithCategories=Settings;DesktopSettings;X-XFCE-SettingsDialog;X-XFCE-PersonalSettings;X-GNOME-PersonalSettings; it's shown under "Preferences" and "Others settings" in Config Center. Utility; has to be removed for this too.
