More appropriate XDG menu category for bitcoin-qt

Hey list,
Currently the bitcoin-qt application's XDG desktop integration on some desktop environments requests that it be placed under the "Office" menu category.[1] This is a rather broad category and I would like to suggest that this be refined further into "Finance", given that XDG's menu specification allows for this.[2]
I believe the line in question in bitcoin-qt.desktop should be as follows:
Categories=Office;Finance;
I would have provided this trivial patch myself, but my knowledge of Git is rather weak and I apologize.
Respectfully,
[1] <https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/debian/bitcoin-qt.desktop> [2] <http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apas02.html>
(Finally) got around to this, sorry for the delay. 0.8.5 has the new category and pull request is at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2999
