Comment 5 for bug 331768

You have a good point about this, you should propose an update to the desktop entry spec to have the filename match the (real) name of the app it is for. That way in the future other apps won't run into this same problem. As I understand it Gnome Shell is proposed to be the shell for Gnome 3.0 next summer (2010)? If so then getting this change done the sooner the better. :-)
