Syntax error in ProofGeneral.desktop file

Description

I receive the following message from KDE on my terminal periodically: 

kbuildsycoca4 running...
(28429) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry Categories in "/usr/share/applications/proofgeneral.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon).

I don't know whether this affects the functioning of the file as an app launcher, because I always launch ProofGeneral from within emacs anyway, so I never use it.

Thanks for noticing this.

It seems to be complaining because the Categories item is missing altogether (not just missing a semi-colon!). According to ​http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-1.0.html it's not required.

But I've added to the CVS version now the line 

Categories=Development;Math;

seems OK on Gnome but perhaps you could check with KDE?
