grace.menu file should be improved

[Alex Valavanis]

Binary package hint: grace

The grace.menu file could be improved in a couple of ways:

1) I think section="Applications/Science/Data Analysis" would be more appropriate because Grace is a data analysis and plotting application, not a mathematics application.

2) The "hints" field is used incorrectly to provide a description of xmgrace. The "hints" field is really an optional list of keywords for the menu system to use when grouping icons. The field should either be used correctly or removed.
