Discussed in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410141:

When GenericName is used from .desktop files, this results in redundant information being displayed, such as

Firefox Web Browser
Web Browser

Using the comment field will probably be more suitable; for Firefox it would result in:

Firefox Web Browser
Browse the World Wide Web

which is the way it appears on the Applications menu (the comment being the tooltip)

This apparently isn't in line with the HIG either; see http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2503190&postcount=6
