Why I get no submenu in the Utility menu?

Pourtant...

cat /usr/share/applications/kde4/kcalc.desktop | grep Categories
Categories=Qt;KDE;Utility;X-KDE-Utilities-Desktop;

cat /usr/share/applications/kde4/kwrite.desktop | grep Categories
Categories=Qt;KDE;Utility;TextEditor;

cat /usr/share/applications/kde4/kbackup.desktop | grep Categories
Categories=KDE;X-KDE-Utilities-File;Utility;

Three applications, no relationship between its, but in the same (and only) 
menu, no submenu available...
