Hi Greg,

Here is the desktop entry spec from freedesktop:

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html

Using relative names in the Icon is preferred, this way icon theme
maintainers can provide whatever format they want.  Using hardlinks, or
file extensions is not recommended, so Fedora packaging is reporting
erroneous errors, as the BibleTime desktop file is correct (in the Icon
field).  Please do not make this change, I like the Numix Circle Icon I
currently use, though others might like their Icon theme of choice.

Here is the Menu entry spec:

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html

I would also not suggest putting it in Office, since it is in Education
already.  This would cause a sort of randomness to where it was located
in various desktop environments (LXQt may do it differently than KDE,
and all the other DE/WM people might use).  I don't think Dictionary is
a good choice since it also relates to Office:

Here is the additional categories spec:

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apas02.html
