Needs Categories including at least X-Red-Hat-Extra;Internet;Application; Comment need not reiterate the "pan" part, maybe "Read Usenet news articles" move to /usr/share/applications Namespace the desktop filename, "net-pan.desktop"
As for "Comment"."A News Reader" is better.Since it can be used to read any kinds of news from many newgroup server,not only usenet. As for the name of desktop, gnome-pan.desktop is better.It takes the same style like other gnome applications such as gnome-dictionary.desktop.
Do you plan to move all the gnome/internet applications to /usr/share/applications without more directories? [bhuang@station111 pan-0.12.0]$ ls /usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/ balsa.desktop gaim.desktop gftp.desktop pan.desktop ethereal.desktop galeon.desktop gq.desktop [bhuang@station111 pan-0.12.0]$
The Comment field should be a verb phrase such as "Read Internet news" rather than a description such as "A News Reader" The namespace is for the vendor of the desktop file, the GNOME project does not ship Pan - so net-pan.desktop would be preferred. gnome- prefix is for things that GNOME ships, not everything that links to GNOME libraries. All desktop files should indeed be moved to /usr/share/applications/, separate bugs have been filed for each desktop file.
