Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-menus
I'm reporting this "bug" here, but it is a general issue with each program's .desktop file.
When navigating menus, I expect to find my applications by their name, but often (almost ever) they are ordered by their generic description. I don't know if this is an issue that affects all Ubuntu translations, though, but so is for the Italian localization.
To be clear, an example: if I wanted to launch Empathy, I would do
Applicazioni -> Internet -> Empathy [- Messaggistica istantanea]
but I find instead
Applicazioni -> Internet -> Messaggistica istantanea Empathy
That's could be fine the first time I use Ubuntu (maybe I don't know what Empathy is...), but next times it is really annoying: I just look for Empathy, because Empathy is what I want (on white pages you look for Smith, John, not for Plumber/
There are good examples too, like Rhythmbox and Gwget, but they are the minority.
Marking this as a papercut.
Thank you.
The "issue" is not really a gnome-menus one it's just what those program set in their desktop entry
