I think gcalctool is a counter productive example. Do no using the real name carry over later communication problems.
So current problem bypass simple-scan case. The lack of rules is the fundamental problem.
- Authors should be encourage to don't use name that exclude other softwares. "Simple scan" is a wrong name. None other can be simple? Other should be complex? Author shouldn't be worry or afraid to personalize the name of their software. We all communicate using name and surname.
- In accordance, It will be better to use 2 terms inside the menu :
   + Calculator Gcalctool
   + Scan Flegita
   + Scan Gscan2pdf
   + Text Abiword
=> Please stop to use "tools", "manager" and other empty terms. Especially because menu become complex and because they apply to everything without carrying a particular sense.
- The significant word appears delayed into the sequence of words rather than at first.
- The alphabetical ordering doesn't work and you have to search sometimes e.g. "scan", "tool", "flegita"... at start or at the end of the menu.
(admin or preference menus illustrate these limits).

Why not "Numérisation Simple Scan"
