The Category pulldown can have whatever strings the Mantis manager 
wants to place there.
If you go to project Squeak for example the following categories are 
currently available:
Balloon3D
Celeste
Chronology
Compiler
Debugger
Etoys
IRC
Kernel
LanguageEditor
MVC
Morphic
Network
SARInstaller
SUnit
Scamper
Sound
VM
XML-Yaxo

So a bug report can be entered that has any one of these as its 
category.  You can also filter the bug reports by category.
