The correct thing to write is "Evince Document Viewer" (or any permutation
of this). And the freedesktop.org .desktop file standard says this should
be encoded as:
Name=Evince
GenericName=Document Viewer
Now somebody just needs to fix GNOME not to ignore GenericName, and
the .desktop files to use Name and GenericName as intended by the standard.
Yes, exactly. I might even suggest that the menu be built to say
"GenericName (Name)"
so that multiple approaches to a task might be more evident.
It also would educate the user about the application name as well as the service
it provides, which is a good thing.
