Well, FWIW the .desktop spec is at http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html There is a "Name" field and a "Genericname" field, we do set the Name field as suggested there, e.g. "Specific name of the application, for example "Mozilla".", while we do set the Genericname to "Spreadsheet" for calc, along the "Generic name of the application, for example "Web Browser"." recommendation. I do see that on RHEL-6 we tweaked e.g. the firefox .desktop to use "Name=Firefox Web Browser" while on Fedora 16 we use "Name=Firefox" so in practice the fashion changes every now and then, but not consistently, so it ends up a bit of a mess, never one way or the other :-( I see from the bug-title you list that some thinking is floats towards an *additional* tag in the .desktop files for the long name, e.g. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/CorrectDesktopFiles I'm a little dubious that X-GNOME-FullName is still a "desirable" tag, e.g. my GNOME-3 desktop doesn't seem to use it, but I can't see any real objection to add X-GNOME-FullName entries to our .desktop files if it would be used/useful if you want to do that. Alternatively, I doubt there would be much of an objection to change the translations of the "Name" field to include a generic term for at least the languages which don't use a Latin script.
