desktop file summarization



Hi,

The desktop file thread is getting a little confusing, since I think now
we have 3 separate positions.  Let me attempt to summarize them (from
least to most invasive), if only for my own sake :)

Havoc: The menu entries should always be "Name FunctionalName", as a
literal reading of the current HIG suggests.

Jeff,Colin: The menu entries should be FunctionalName, until the system
administrator chooses to present 2 of the same FunctionalName
applications to the user, in which case we disambiguate in a
programmatic fashion.

Seth: All applications which are part of GNOME should simply be renamed
entirely, in every user visible way, to FunctionalName.  As a side
effect, this ensures that in the default GNOME menu the user will only
see FunctionalName.

I think we can agree though that we have solved any potential i18n
issues with any of the solutions, so with that out of the picture, we
just have to choose between one of these options.
