Yes, that is a good idea, to do it, and do it well for 14.04. Either have menu entries with
- only what the programs do, or both, - but not only the name. The name means nothing to a beginner, but might be useful for more experienced users. But the simplest and cleanest way it to have only what the programs do. I wonder how much of this that is actually controlled by the programs themselves (the setup of the programs might write into the menu).
