Actually there is no missing category in gerbv's desktop but that of
freedesktop.

The close match for a category specified by freedesktop is "Eduation".
Freedesktop does not distinguish educational apps and engineering apps
properly. I recommend you grab electronics-menu from peterB/C.

Once I have more time, I will propose "Electronics" as an official
menu to the freedesktop guys. It would be nice to have support from
other distributions as well during this process. Electronics-menu is a
default on Fedora for about nearly 15 months now.
