Bug Description

Currently grub-customizer can be found in Applications->System submenu, but this is incorrect place for boot menu and other boot-loader settings changing utility - should be in System->Administration (Settings) menu, not in Applications.
Please change grub-customizer.desktop file to have Categories=System;Settings;
(instead of Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;)

Btw, I'm suggesting to change Name entry to more user-friendly, like "Boot-loader customizer" or "Boot menu customizer", because lots of users don't know what is GRUB, also grub-customizer can customize not only GRUB, but also BURG, right? Also Name and Comment entries in grub-customizer.desktop file should be translatable, it's very easy to do this - simply add these entries to .pot file and add a line "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=grub-customizer" into grub-customizer.desktop file (see for example /usr/share/applications/update-manager.desktop file).
Should I report another "wishlist" bug about this?

When placing Grub Customizer on the menu I saw that "Ubuntu Tweak Tool" installs to this place, so I did the same. But you're right, System->Administration is the better place.

About the name:
…on the other hand, the user is looking for Grub Customizer after doing "sudo apt-get install grub-customizer"… do you think I should do it anyway?

But the translation is a good idea. Didn't know there's a way to use gettext…

I decided not to change the name, but the file is translatable now.
