Bug Description

Qalculate has two menu entries in the K menu in Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty. None of them follow a consistent with calculators menu entry scheme as followed by other calculators.

One would expect that all calculators have menu entries in the same menu folder, at least for scientific calculators. It should be easy to see if several calculators are installed and they should be easy to find.

Currently, we have:
* Utilities - KCalc: Very simple calculator;
* Utilities - SpeedCrunch: Simple calculator, Default Kubuntu calculator;
* Utilities - Abakus: Intermediate calculator;
* Utilities - Qalculate!: Advanced calculator with plotting capabilities;
* Science and Mathematics - Qalculate!: again and alone in this menu folder (on my computer)
* Education - Mathematics - Kalgebra: Advanced calculator with plotting capabilities.

I suggest to remove both Qalculate menu entries and to put a new Qalculate menu entry in Education - Mathematics so that advanced scientific calculator are found there and basic calculators are found in Utilities.

I have confirmed that this bug exists, but it requires that both the package qalculate-gtk and qalculate-kde to be installed. Each package has it's own menu entry, and in a different location.

Both icons in the latest version of both packages for Jaunty now appear in Applications/Science/Mathematics.

This bug does not appear in either package (qalculate-gtk or qalculate-kde) as of the current version 0.9.6-2ubuntu2.

I have also confirmed that the bug does not affect Karmic, as both menu entries are now listed in the Utilities menu entry.
