I've started seeing these with latest Xfce git:

* /usr/share/applications/example.desktop: value 
"XFCE;GTK;Settings;DesktopSettings;X-XFCE-SettingsDialog;X-XFCE-SystemSettings;"
for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains an
unregistered value "XFCE"; values extending the format should start
with "X-"

And I've discussed it at #xfce-dev on Freenode with 2 developers and
the response was that this won't be changing and it's correct.

Therefore I'm suggesting XFCE to be included in the

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

The same way GNOME is there right now:

GNOME   Application based on GNOME libraries    GTK
XFCE    Application based on XFCE libraries     GTK

May I ask what's the use case? I know that we have GNOME and KDE there,
but I'm not even sure why we have them in the first place :-)

My first reaction when I saw the warning was to change everything to X-XFCE since I don't see any point in these desktop specific categories either. But that's just me.

It would be analogous to GNOME and KDE, but that's probably too simplist for a reasoning?

I've asked on the #xfce-dev IRC channel on Freenode for better reasoning minute ago, we'll see if I can come up with something more sane.
