 *   Utilities for the KDE desktop environment (Calculator, Editor,
 *   Calendar,...).

This should probably go to "misc", at least under the current
categorization.

Actually, other than the "window managers" category that everybody
seems to agree about, there are a few more that could be separated
from "x11" or "misc".  How about

widget sets (Xaw3d, neXtaw, lesstif, xview-lib, tk[0-9]*, etc.)
desktop utilities (clocks, postit, etc.)

The latter is for electronic versions of things traditionally found on
top of a desk for office work (in other words, it doesn't include
bobbling head dolls or framed pictures).

For the names, I think the "window managers" and "widget sets" should
have a "x11-" prefix so people won't just go into "x11" and wonder why
they aren't there.  Maybe "x11-wm" ("x11-wms"?) and "x11-widgets"?
