Application is not a valid Category according to FDO specs, see http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html. So, running desktop-file-validate on stuff created by make_desktop_entry will produce this:

<snip>
warning: The 'Application' category is not defined by the desktop entry specification.  Please use one of "AudioVideo", "Audio", "Video", "Development", "Education", "Game", "Graphics", "Network", "Office", "Settings", "System", "Utility" instead
</snip>

The offending line is:

Categories=Application;${type};
