Not showing names of applets in add applet

[LimCore]

Names of applets are different then name used in installation. This confuse users.

Example:
user installs "glipper", but there is no "glipper" in GNOME applets list, there is only "Clipboard manager"

When user tries to run command "glipper", no such command.
More educated user opens Add Applet to Panel, and searches for glipper - types "glipper" in search field.. and nothing.

What is going on?

The applet is hiding from users under name that does not include word "glipper". Supposedly more user-friendly name "clipboard something", but it confuses users that understand that they installed "glipper".

Solution: always show application name, package name in Add To Applet.
Also similar problem exists for programs in menu, btw

Hi LimCore,
thanks for reporting this bug.
This bug needs to be fixed in the glipper package itself, there is a file called data/Glipper.server.* which defines the name and description of this applet. Feel free to create a patch with better wording. Maybe you should also report this bug to the upstream developers of glipper, so they can make your proposal the default.

The new Glipper is no longer an applet. It uses an app indicator, and starts automatically upon log on.

In Natty, Glipper is no longer an applet.
