Bug Description

There are no mention to the expression "TODO list" anywhere when describing GTG. Since many people actually search for these terms (even when they're looking for a more complex task manager), they never discover GTG.

(thanks again Radina for pointing this out)

Where should we change the description of GTG? I can think of:
* README
* debian package information

Is there any other place?

Changed in gtg:

On the top of my head, I'll add:

* GTG website an dwiki
* GTG self-description in the "about" dialog (but maybe that one is
gonna be trickier: it's supposed to be very brief).

* the GTG manifesto

Can't think of anything else.

I suggest the following:

SHORT DESCRIPTION: GTG is a personal tasks and TODO-list items organizer for the GNOME desktop environment.

LONG DESCRIPTION (from README):

Getting Things GNOME! (GTG) is a personal tasks and TODO-list items organizer for the GNOME desktop environment inspired by the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. GTG is designed with flexibility, adaptability, and ease of use in mind so it can be used as more than just GTD software.

GTG is intended to help you track everything you need to do and need to know, from small tasks to large projects.
