As discussed in various places we shouldn't use the generic name in the name field in the desktop files: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2009-July/010807.html We should also have consistency between the Name field, the name used in the titlebar, the name used in the application menu (gnome-shell, or OS X), the about box, and the documentation. Can we change the name in the desktop file to reflect this? Name=Emacs GenericName=Text Editor
OK, fixed in emacs-23.1-3.fc12
