[maemo-developers] Proposal for Diablo's authoritative list of package categories

I'll note that I've added

user/science       Science        Scientific and engineering  
applications

To the list on the wiki at the request of Yves (who, presumably,  
accidentally emailed me directly off-list). I figure it makes sense to  
have a Science section if we have an Education section (though,  
currently, none of the scientific applications are in Extras).  
Particularly as we only have 11 categories at the moment, and 12  
categories visible without scrolling in h-a-m in windowed mode.

On that note, in windowed mode, there are 12 category buttons visible  
on-screen with Jaffa's patch, but the 5th line (which would bring us  
to 15 categories) is almost (but not quite) completely visible on  
screen. Does anybody think it would be worthwhile (or possible?) to  
shave a few pixels off the vertical height of the buttons to  
completely fit the 5th line on screen in windowed mode? Or just leave  
it as-is and let people switch to fullscreen if they're really  
bothered by it?
