After further discussion on the XDG mailing list and an agreement with David Faure of KDE fame, I propose this goal, that will allow to both have Name keys suitable for gnome-shell and to keep the current entries in gnome-panel. The guidelines are: - If Name is just the application name, leave it alone - If there is no GenericName, leave it alone - If Name == GenericName: remove GenericName - If Name embeds both the application name and the generic name - Add X-FullName, with what was in Name - Set Name to the application name only <http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/CorrectDesktopFiles> Impact for translations: at most a new string for each modules, with the application "brand" name (that could be left alone, for languages that do not do transliteration). Impact for documentation: none (once libgnomedesktop gets its new "get_display_name()" API). Is everybody ok to proceed ?
