why does "driconf" map to System -> Preferences -> driconf

  i just *know* i'm going to regret asking this, but i've never
bothered looking closely at it ... why is it that my newly-installed
"driconf" package shows up under the gnome menu System -> Preference?
as opposed to anywhere else?

  there's nothing in "rpm -qi driconf" that suggests that location,
and if i look at /usr/share/applications/fedora-driconf.desktop, i
read:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Driconf
Comment=configuration applet for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure
Exec=/usr/bin/driconf
Icon=/usr/share/driconf/driconf-icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Settings;
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.15

  so ... what dictates where the menu entry for driconf shows up?
thanks.
