In menus, the name is used as label and comment as tooltip. But comments might be useless in most cases...

When editing an application launcher, there are two possible types. So a checkbox might make sense there. But when creating a new launcher, you also have a third type (link, or file) and in this case, the checkbox would be greyed out. The idea comes from Paolo.
