[Kwintv] kdetv.desktop file

In the kdetv.desktop file, which gets installed into
/opt/kde/share/applnk/Multimedia/, the "Categories" line reads:
Categories=QT;KDE;Multimedia;Video;TV;
This ends up placing the kdetv entry in my "Lost and Found" menu, rather
than the "Multimedia" menu (even though it resides in the
applnk/Multimedia directory).
The "AudioVideo" string must be used to place kdetv into the Multimedia
menu. I changed this line to:
Categories=QT;KDE;AudioVideo;Multimedia;Video;TV;
and now kdetv correctly appears in the Multimedia menu.
I think the use of applnk is now deprecated in KDE. Apps are now being
stored in /opt/kde/share/applications/, and the Categories entry
determines where the application will appear.
My understanding might not be correct, but my change definitely seemed
to work. -kz
