display-entry.py assumes that the category_id number 1 is the very top
category. It's easy to test. Try to give a different category in the
database the number 1. The front page at www.gnu.org/directory/, with no
args, becomes whatever category number 1 is.
This assumption should be removed. It cannot be guaranteed that the
toplevel category has ID "1". You can assume that its parent_id is
NULL. I suppose we can assume there is only one toplevel category, but
that seems dangerous too...
