Thanks Dave !

I've added an if-block to the OTB.SlackBuild:

# ---------------- cut  here -------------------
if [ "$MONTEVERDI" = "ON" ] ; then
   sed -i -e '/s/^Categories=.*$/Categories=ImageProcessing;/' \
   $PKG/usr/share/applications/monteverdi.desktop
fi
# ---------------- cut there -------------------

Rerunning `MONTEVERDI=ON ./OTB.SlackBuild` 2>&1 |tee
OTB.SlackBuild-8.0.0.log

Will know in 30 min or so :)

Thanks again !
