What do people think about the following new categories?
deskutils
x11-fms (file managers)
x11-wms (window managers)
x11-widgets
X clocks go to "deskutils". These are real categories, so they
involve repository copying ports around.
Here's part of the mail that I sent out a while ago.

Actually, other than the "window managers" category that everybody
seems to agree about, there are a few more that could be separated
from "x11" or "misc". How about
widget sets (Xaw3d, neXtaw, lesstif, xview-lib, tk[0-9]*, etc.)
desktop utilities (clocks, postit, etc.)
The latter is for electronic versions of things traditionally found on
top of a desk for office work (in other words, it doesn't include
bobbling head dolls or framed pictures).
For the names, I think the "window managers" and "widget sets" should
have a "x11-" prefix so people won't just go into "x11" and wonder why
they aren't there. Maybe "x11-wm" ("x11-wms"?) and "x11-widgets"?
