Menu names

[Kenneth Christiansen <di000140 diku dk>]

Now that Gnome 1.4 is soon going to be released, I think we should look at
the menu names. What I am refering to is menu names including GNOME, like
for instance "GNOME Charmap" etc. It is of my opinion that we in the menu
should try to avoid using the "GNOME" tag, as it seem very obious, and
very unprofessional. 

Also names like for instance "gedit" isn't very userfriendy. At least not
for non-english speaking people. Well, you might say, you can just call it
something else, but if I suddently call it "Tekstbearbejder" is Danish,
people will flame me, since it all other places are called gedit. If it
instead was called "GNOME Text Editor" (and Text Editor in the menu
:)) people wouldn't flame be, since then "Tekstbearbejder" then just is a
literal translation. 

Also we are moving onto non-hackers desktop, even on desktops on Solaris,
etc, so if we want to change this (I really hope so) then now is the time.

Cheers, Kenneth
