Some .desktop files don't have OnlyShowIn=KDE

Hi All,
I've been doing some work with Autopackage <http://www.autopackage.org>, 
and found some bugs in .desktop file handeling with menus. Some (most?) 
are not valid with the fdo menu-spec (used desktop-file-validate). Most 
are missing the ; at the end of Categories, and Terminal is set to 0, 
instead of false.

But...the real problem is this:
Categories=Qt;KDE;Core
(KConfig.desktop)

Without the KDE entry, .desktop files with Core don't show up in the 
root menu. That's not compliant with the fdo spec... Actually, the 
OnlyShowIn key should be used (OnlyShowIn=KDE) and Categories=Core;. 
(Gnome does this). Is there some reason which I'm not aware of for this 
Feature/Bug?

Keep up the good work!
