I've updated the GNOME HIG, adding a section reflecting the situation
wrt the Name + GenericName menu item name creation.
The problem with a cat of Name + GenericName is that it doesn't always
work for languages other than English. To reflect this problem the HIG
now requires that the Name field use the "[Proper Name] + [Generic
Name]" format where the Generic Name is purely derived from the
applications functionality (like "Web Browser") and the proper name is
one it's project name (like "Mozilla"). Thus the .desktop entry for the
GenericName field is the applications functionality without the proper
name.
