Attached patch tries to make it respect:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html
for app-* categories. Currently, all categories are set as "Main
Category" and that causes them to be shown under "Others" in Gnome menu.
The way to go is to put "Additional Categories" insider their respective
main categories.

your missing portage in that catmin group. There are several packages
in that group that are gtk guis, some QT/kde.
I have always had porthole's .desktop explicitly set the category to

The cited specification [1] says:
| The table below describes Additional Categories. The Related
| Categories column lists one or more categories that are suggested
| to be used in conjunction with the Additional Category.
As I read it, "Utility" is only a suggestion, but isn't mandatory as
main category for "TextEditor".
