   The description can be useful for new users, but it is possible to disable   
   them entirely by right-clicking the start button, choosing Configure,   
   going into Appearance and removing the checkmark from the application   
   descriptions option.

   I don't mind that someone else categorizes these things for me because I   
   often have no idea what the grouping should be called. However, I would be   
   annoyed by an "Other" grouping. For me, it is necessary that every app has   
   an identified category. It's obsessive with these things.
