Oh, I totally agree with this, the important part of my initial
proposal was lost in the middle of other problems, the justification
for another key was the translation issues:

(and this is after discussing the matter with GNOME translators)


Of course the broken .desktop files have to be fixed; actually this
proposal came after I looked over many of them (this may explain why
I gave too much space to current bugs).

FWIW my report is published at:
  http://www.gnome.org/~fpeters/reports/desktop_generic_name.html
and bugs are currently being filed.
