Bug#641022: gnucash: desktop file needs GenericName entries
Hi Micha Thank you for bringing this to our attention. But can you please explain why it is an issue at all? I mean, what exactly is the impact of this issue, except that it does not closely follow the [1]Desktop Entry Specification? The GnuCash menu entry without the Name/GenericName separation is quite long and just looks alien in the KDE kickoff menu where almost all applications follow the Desktop Entry Specification. The GenericName is shown per default (because this is what a user needs to know first: what is this application?) and the Name is only shown when hovering the mouse over the entry or when two entries share the same GenericName (because it is not *that* important information that the media player is named VLC). If GnuCash follows the Desktop Entry Specification it simply improves the usability and consistency of the Linux desktop.
