Surely using the feature of .desktop files called 'GenericName' is much 
better for this purpose, rather than abusing 'Name' which presents an 
inconsistent naming style in the menus, then you can have the best of 
both worlds. Worse still, is when descriptive names are ironically... 
exactly the opposite. I have entry in my system menu called 
"Configuration Editor", very useless and entirely uninformative to both 
technical and non-technical users. For record I use KDE but assume the 
issues are similar in Gnome.
