There seems to be a problem with the .desktop categories:
$ cat /usr/share/applications/epiphany.desktop
[...]
Exec=epiphany-browser %U
TryExec=/usr/bin/epiphany-browser
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=gnome-web-browser
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=epiphany
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=BugBuddyBugs
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=2.25.91
Categories=Network;GNOME;GTK;WebBrowser;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;

If I change categories to the following it is shown properly:
Categories=Application;Network;

Changed in epiphany-browser:

It seems to require a logout / login. But menus shouldn't require such
a thing, isn't it?
