+The RPM groups are seen only in rpmdrake (and smart and Mageia App Db),
+as far as I understand. And they are package-based.
+
+.desktop files (which are for menu entries) are for the desktop
+applications. So one package can have several .desktop files (for each
+application it contains) or none.
+
+They are in effect unrelated. There was however a proposal to base the
+new RPM groups on the freedektop standard for menu classification, but
+it seems not to be a possibility (mainly because packages &lt;&gt; applications).
