I would say so, yes.

In general I think the characterisation of GenericName as a description is not
correct (or at least, confusing). This probably originates from KMenuEdit,
which refers to GenericName as "Description". It seems to me the comment is
intended more as a description.

Referring to
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/recognized-keys.html
we see:
Name, Specific name of the application, for example "Mozilla". 
GenericName, Generic name of the application, for example "Web Browser". 

So the same applies here as to 504405, 504404 and 504402.

504396, 504397, 504398 and 504400 are different in that these .desktop files
have the same GenericName as Name. It would seem proper to me that GenericName
would be dropped altogether.

504409 (Spectacle) and 504408 (kwalletmanager) has GenericName the same as the
comment, which is strange. I would suggest GenericName is dropped and comment
improved.

Before taking any action, Nate — what do you think?
