Poor tooltip

Bug Description

The tooltips of Sudoku is "GNOME Sudoku; a logic puzzle". This is inconsistant with the rest of the game desktop entires. First of all, GNOME Sudoku is redudant. Next, the rest of the tooltips are verbs (ie: "Guide a worm through a maze", or "Play a casio game of blackjack"). Perhaps a better description would be "Play a Japanese logic puzzle." This would be consistant.

Perhaps a wiki page should be created for universe desktop entry standard? I also brought this up in bug 35328

I've forwarded that bug and the patch upstream: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1518666&group_id=142841&atid=753666

We will likely drop the change to edgy and sync with Debian because there is no point to break translations and divert from Debian, we better want to get changes upstream than to maintain a diff like that

I'm changing it at the source -- everything except the "in this Japense logic game" since I read something somewhere about the game not actually being Japanese in origin or somesuch :)
