Bug Description
From the great Ubuntu-Girlfriend experiment:
http://
"The only problem I see here is the name of Transmission in the menu. I imagine that her problems would’ve been reduced if only they listed “Transmission BitTorrent Client” instead. How on earth is a user supposed to know what Transmission is? The icon certainly doesn’t help. They do this with “Firefox Web Browser”, so why not Transmission? Weird. They could even just put “file-sharing client”, and when it loads up for the first time a wizard can help the user understand what BitTorrent is and how it works."
I think he has a fair point. Putting this out there as a usability bug... sorry, I filed it under the package "gnome-main-menu" as I couldn't work out what else to file it under.
Sorry folks, it looks like this was already done. Sorry, can't find the bug where this happened, but this should be marked as a duplicate or as already fixed. Not sure what to do from here...
