Re: tagtool desktop file bug

["Joseph E. Sacco, PhD" <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

A self-correction...

After re-reading the spec,  I am not sure if the 

	StartupNotify=true

tag is necessary. 

>From a web search

        "If and only if launching this desktop file *always* results in
        sending an "end startup notification" message, add the line
        "StartupNotify=true" to the .desktop file."
        
I will need to poke around in the tagtool code to see what's going on. 

After some more experimentation, adding a single registered category

[see http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html ]

Exec=tagtool
Icon=TagTool.png
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Categories=AudioVideo                     <<=================
MimeType=audio/x-mp3;application/ogg;

seems to be sufficient to make tagtool appear in the "Sound & Video"
applications sub-menu.
