Not from my experience. They're almost always having Fedora categories (Applications/*), which are quite simplistic and do not comply with the SUSE Package Conventions.

Cool. What "RSS aggregator" do you mean ? http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Desktop_Menu#9.4._Category_L...
This list contains invalid categories -- ie categories that are not defined in http://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html#catego... and that are not prefixed by X-. Didn't have time to fix this, but it's on my todo list :-)

Again, from my experience they almost never provide .desktop files that match openSUSE's tree of categories. Thinking of it, make that "almost never" a "never"
Wouldn't it make sense to fix upstream desktop files to have the right categories? It would mean much less work.
