Hi Gudjon,

Can you upload a new package without the patch 
01_fix_desktop.dpatch

The patch adds an "Education" category which is incorrect for this
package. This errant category was removed upstream a while back - and
has previously been patched out by my older Debian packages.

The control file already lists a "Recommends" on extra-xdg-menus, which
upgrades the "Electronics" category to a "main" menu category.

See Debian bug #465275 for explanation of my previous patch to _remove_
the Education category.
