  Yes, it looks like there's a mistake in the tangogps.desktop file, 
instead of having the category "Applications" it has the category 
"Application". You can fix this in one of two ways, either edit the 
tangogps.desktop file in /usr/share/applications or edit 
/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu, scroll down to the bottom and add 
"<Category>Application</Category>" to the <Or> section of the 
"Accessories" <menu>.

  Cheers,
   Mike.
