My preprint "Totally distributive toposes" (http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.4032)
has been updated to include an additional corollary, namely that the 
totally distributive categories with a small set of generators are exactly 
the essential subtoposes of presheaf toposes [C^op, Set], which were shown 
by Kelly-Lawvere to correspond to idempotent ideals in the small category 
C.  Some minor additional changes have been made, and the title has 
changed.

Regards,
Rory

My preprint "Totally distributive toposes" (http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.4032)
has been updated to include an extended result, namely that the lex 
totally distributive categories with a small set of generators are exactly 
the injective Grothendieck toposes.

Abstract:  A locally small category E is totally distributive (as defined 
by Rosebrugh-Wood) if there exists a string of adjoint functors t -| c -| 
y, where y : E --> E^ is the Yoneda embedding. Saying that E is lex 
totally distributive if, moreover, the left adjoint t preserves finite 
limits, we show that the lex totally distributive categories with a small 
set of generators are exactly the injective Grothendieck toposes, studied 
by Johnstone and Joyal. We characterize the totally distributive 
categories with a small set of generators as exactly the essential 
subtoposes of presheaf toposes, studied by Kelly-Lawvere and 
Kennett-Riehl-Roy-Zaks.
