Public bug reported:

When clicking on the about dialog in the help menus you will see the
following message:

Files

3.14.3

Access and organizer files.


This a very dumbed down message in sake of simplicity which leaves the users 
wondering which package installs this application. I don't care if GNOME dev's 
want to make life harder for their users. Ubuntu should strive for a better 
solution. 
Binary and the source packages are called nautilus, and the binary program file 
is also called nautilus. 

The name nautilus itself isn't very descriptive, and maybe bad for
marketing (what does nautilus Cephalopoda has to do with files???).
However, the about dialog should refer to the name of the binary
program. It should display something like:


Nautilus File Manager

3.14.3

Access and organizer files.

This message is more helpful when searching for help about the program
itself.
