Actually, those suggestions don't seem very well thought... or somewhat
misleading.
Particularly in the case of Abiword Word Processor (repetitive, huh?)
In GNOME2, I see the panel launchers showing in the tooltips:
[ Name ]
[ Generic Name ]
This is rather different than: [ Name ] [ Generic Name ]
since the first example displays a proper separation between the name
of the application and the name of the functionality.
So we should have:
AbiWord
Word Processor
X-Chat
IRC Client
etc... instead of:
AbiWord Word Processing
or X-Chat IRC Client
which are somewhat awkward looking.
Maybe this particular distinction should be brought up to the HIG authors.
