I'm using Xubuntu, so I can't say whether all seems well for people browsing using Unity ...

For XFCE though, the current packaging setup that puts all of these puzzles in the "Games" category hides anything else that might be there.

I suggest that these should be found at "Games>Puzzles"

The .desktop files for all the games in sgt-puzzles classify them as Game;LogicGame. The desktop environment decides whether to show subcategories of Games or to bundle them all together.

Therefore, I'm reassigning this to Xfce and hope this is the right package.

Xubuntu uses a customized menu. This change should be discussed for xubuntu-default-settings.

@Xubuntu/xubuntu-team Thoughts on this? I feel that the nested submenus tend to be messy unless you install many games.

[knomepasi]

I would personally avoid nested submenus as well, for mostly the reason as Sean described.

Disclaimer: I do not have a menu applet in the panel, one only opens when I right-click the desktop. Furthermore, to streamline my workflows and usage, I have a completely customized menu. I do not let system (packages) populate the menu automatically, but add manually items to my menu when needed/wanted. So take my comment with a grain/or spoonful of salt.
