well, we wont touch the .desktop files that contain teh default names
and translations indeed. this is all about menu structure, not about the
entries (else we'd have to touch every .desktop file in the system to
present the name we want, thats not doable with the manpower we
have :) )

in my ubunru and edubuntu menus, the firefox entry says "Firefox Web
Browser" which i think is fine because it represents the app and its
functionallity. in the meeting richard asked for apps that we would see
as generic apps that should be in a base profile...

we didn't check the menu entries but threw in the names of apps we have
installed by default ;)

so read richards list as:

* Calculator
* Firefox Web Browser
* Texteditor
* Openoffice Word Processor
* Openoffice Spreadsheet

(and he forgot evolution as calendaring and mail app btw :) )
