Catorise 0.6.0
Put applications menu into sensible categories.
Catorise puts the applications menu into a series of sections,
matching those used in the Application Manager to install it.
As packages are installed and removed, the menu is kept up-to-date.
To revert to the Nokia-supplied default, simply uninstall.
This is based on the "MyMenu" concept by manzn.

Comments:
If I've seen Catorize's code (I'm not any good in perl), it creates the new menu structure in-place which results in hildon-desktop eating too much CPU and making the system unresponsive. It also removes the applications menu for a while. I suggest you create the menu in a temporary place (e.g. /tmp) and then replace /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu once. This should speed up the operation by a large factor.
I'm using version 0.6.0 (from extras-testing), so you may have fixed that already.
Indeed. Most of the delay I observed was not from Catorise. There is an added delay of about 5 seconds, but the system is totally responsive at that point.
Sorry for the false alarm!
@Stefanos, have you had long times with additional applications? The first install is slow, but everything should be cached for the second application install. I've can't reproduce slow-subsequent-installs, and no one has given any steps to reproduce.
While the result is excellent and "it works" (I love it), I find the delay that is introduced per installion unacceptable. We could try to find a way to speed things up, at least on common cases. Until then, I suggest that this remains out of maemo software. An unsuspected user may install this and then complain about very slow software installations.
No thumbs down :-)
Could be faster but works :)
I experienced no problems with it so far.
"killall hildon-desktop" seems to be supported; the watchdog kicks in if there are certain number of restarts within a certain time interval.
I've yet to see a report of anyone having a problem, so I'm fairly happy :-)
Is scale from 1 to 10 how sure are you that "killall hildon-desktop" doesn't cause system reboot? :)
I've never had any problems, I'm asking because I've seen some speculations that it could happen with systemui[2] and hildon-home[1].
