I think that most gobo users don't matter about categories, so i think
that should be implemented in a way that can be used or not without
intrusion with the system, maybe some tools to make use of categories,
maybe a fs with support to see categories (i don't know if this is
possible with fuse or if this idea is stupid). Each user should be
able to add any program to any category, f.e, i can be interested in
the mathematical side of fractal, so xaos is a math tool for me, and
other person could use it only to make nice pictures, so he
categorizes it as a graphical tool.

Btw, the Carlo way to install in another partition is perfect for me, i
think that should be tested (i found some errors when trying it), but
that could be the gobo way to have several programs partitions.

Greets.
