What happens if a user installs both KDE and GNOME manually, will he get
two "Web Browser" entries then (considering that KDE does the same)?
Just generally stripping the application name is certainly not possible,
because if a user decides to install the Opera Browser, there needs to
be a way to actually identify this one. Wouldn't it be better to solve
this in a more consistant way than having "Web Browser" among "Opera Web
Browser" and "Mozilla Web Browser" (and in the worst case, another "Web
Browser" beeing Konqueror)?
