Relevant: Gnome Icons, Gnome/KDE Menus need improvement on fedora-devel
is it not better if we add the description in "()" like: Kopete -> Kopete (Instant Messenger) KPPP -> KPPP (Dial-Up) KDE already has support this feature. i will enable it by default in next rebuilt.
Personally I don't care - but I thought it was important to include the program function since I have absolutely no idea what all those KDE programs do - it doesn't help that I use GNOME but I shouldn't have to try each one to find out. However, to be consistent with everyone else the function should be appended, not placed in ( ). That's what the HIG says. It's your call I guess. Close the bug if you disagree.
Actually the solution that was finally decided upon for GNOME was as follows: The .desktop file will hold: Name = <appname> <function> Generic Name = <function> Then the menu will be made smart to distinguish apps that are part of the desktop environment and apps that are not, and display the appname only for non-core apps. There was a discussion about this on fedora-desktop. As far as KDE is concerned, I don't know what the menu should do, but since the .desktop file should be standard and shared between GNOME and KDE, I think all the kdeutils .desktop entries should be changed accordingly. By the way, Name is not simply appended to GenericName, because of translation issues with this approach.
I'll assume: 1) This issue has been dealt with when all the other menu entries were fixed, or 2) You won't deal with it, because freedesktop policies do not apply to KDE. Either way, I don't care anymore, and I'm closing all my ancient bugs.
