The package gtk-recordmydesktop installs a menu item under Applications / Sound 
& Video with the label: "gtk-recordMyDesktop".

The GNOME Human Interface Guidelines have the rules about menu item names, as 
can be read in paragraph 2.1.1.1 through 2.1.1.3: 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/desktop-application-menu.html.en

2.1.1.1. Include a functional description in the menu name
2.1.1.2. Only put useful information in the menu name
2.1.1.3. Menu name formats

The label "gtk-recordMyDesktop" isn't a good name according to the GNOME HIG. 
Especially including the prefix "gtk-" isn't a good idea, non-technical users 
don't need and don't want to know what GTK is.

A better label would be, for example "Desktop Recorder".
## Description: Make the menu entry more GNOME Human Interface Guidelines 
compatiable
