Ok, thanks. I read what pb linked to as well (I had downloaded it earlier, but hadn't
remembered to *read* it, doh ;)

So what's the best solution to map it into the currently existing
policy? (I think it'd be best to keep with the .menu policy, at least
for now).

I was thinking something along the lines of:
if has 'Utility' -> "Utility"
if has 'Settings' -> "Configuration"
if has 'SystemSetup' or 'System' -> "System"
if has '*Game' -> 'Games'

etc. etc.

then dump the leftovers in, say, "Other".

We could make it easier by asking GPE-friendly apps to have categories
picked with GPE in mind...

Any better suggestions?
