Re: Customizing xfce settings manager

Try changing the "Categories" line of the applications .desktop file (located in /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications) to include the items "Settings;X-XFCE-SettingsDialog;" and one of:
- X-XFCE-PersonalSettings
- X-XFCE-HardwareSettings
- X-XFCE-SystemSettings
- <blank> (don't enter one for it to show up in "Other")
